Three members of a Federal Appeals Court, District of Columbia, said that the Second Amendment meant exactly what it says: activities protected by the Second Amendment "are not limited to militia service, nor is an individual's enjoyment of the right contigent" on enrollment in a militia. In Washington DC, handguns are not banned anymore. Also struck down are the onerous requirements that registered firearms must be kept unloaded, disassembled, and under trigger lock.
Take that, you left-wing gun banners! We've struck a Blow to one of the hallmarks of the true liberal.
Now, mind you, this is only a 2-1 decision by a facet of the appeals court; we could see the rest of these Men in Black decide to reverse this, when the Washington DC City Council decides to appeal the decision...thus paving the way for the case to go to the Supremes. I would prefer that, if necessary, to finally slam the door on the weasley crumbsnatcher lawyers paid for by the likes of Handgun Control, Inc., the ACLU, and other left-wing groups bent on marginalizing the Second Amendment.
Until a majority of people realize that they are safer if they can protect themselves, and can present an obstacle and deterrent to armed criminals, and express those sentiments to their elected representatives, we are going to have those who want to prevent private ownership, and to snip away, one tiny bit at a time, the rights we have to keep and bear arms. It's a incremental process, gun control laws...like a tide coming in, you lose a little ground at a time. It doesn't seem like much, until you wind up like Australia or Great Britain or Canada...no rights to speak of, and onerous prohibitions on the few avenues that remain.
So, let's celebrate this one win for a couple minutes, then keep up the good fight...
Here's the PDF of the United States Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit Decision...Enjoy~!!
Updated...here's an article coming out in the New York Times,tomorrow today...
