Appeals Court Overturns D.C. Gun Ban

I got a good laugh out of the SCOTUS comment. I knew what it meant when I read it, but that is my field.

Constitutional questions are federal questions, and they allow a person/entity to bring a suit in federal Court. If this issue started in a federal Court, which I would assume it did, it can make it to the Supreme Court of the United State of America ("SCOTUS") if the parties want to go that far. Can you imagine if this case makes it to SCOTUS and the Court upholds the case. I would love to see anybody try to pass any "assault weapon" ban or anything to that nature.

DC has had a handgun ban for decades, and way too many people are still being killed with them. If I were living in SE DC, I would want an entire arsenal. There are a lot of good folk down there, but it is the few bad ones that ruin it for everybody. Give everybody some guns and see if these bad apples are still willing to break into apartments, or hold people up on the street. Maybe this is what the city needs, because the police and the govt haven't done anything in decades to make it a safer place to live.

Good for the Court. With all the corruption in govt, people are going to have to fend for themselves in many places. Look at New Orleans. I would hate to have been without a gun in that situation. My liberal friends that saw what happened in New Orleans have since bought guns and taken training classes.
