D.C. Gun Ban Ruled Unconstitutional, Violates Individual Right To Own A Gun
Friday, March 09, 2007
***Begin Quote***
This week, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Second Amendment is an individual right and concluded that the District of Columbia’s ban on guns in the home is unconstitutional. According to the majority opinion, “[T]he phrase ‘the right of the people’…leads us to conclude that the right in question is individual.”

In a victory for all the little people of the District, our right was affirmed.
Now let’s see what roadblocks the “state uber alles” throws in everyone’s way.
I find it hard to believe that it was 2-1. Send that judge back to private life. I bet she has an armed security detail everywhere she goes. Taxpayer funded of course. If I was a citizen of the District, then I’ve have demanded her recall. (Yes, it’s a she. Appointed by Regan!)
Of course, if I was a citizen of DC, I’d have moved eons ago.
Let’s face facts. Most of DC’s violence is caused by the “War on Drugs”. End drug prohibition and you’d end the violence. End the various wars on nonsense (drugs, gambling, prostitution, and all “victimless” crimes) and it would be a peace in minutes.
What does an out of work drug dealer do?
End welfare, absurd taxation, and ridiculous regulation as well.
You’d have a city that would rival Singapore in a matter of “minutes”. People would be moving to DC as opposed to fleeing from it.
And, maybe bribing politicians wouldn’t be its only industry.
With a tax, regulatory, and legal environment like that maybe we could make something useful there.
One can only dream!
