    the best part...
    quote:The opinion of the D.C. Court of Appeals is well researched and bulletproof. If the Court refuses to hear the case or hears it and rules that the Second Amendment is a right of the people gun laws will fall everywhere they have bans or demand payment for permits and registration involving firearms.

    The only gun laws unaffected if the D.C. ruling is upheld will be gun bans for convicted felons, lunatics and incompetents. Let's win one for Freedom and Liberty!

    So, are you saying that the politicians in DC will be banned from having guns?? I like that idea. [8D]

    Honestly, I hope that the Supreme Court does hear it, and still shoots it down. It'll make it easier on the rest of us in the long run. The problem with that is that they might overturn the previous ruling.

    The original ruling was well thought out, well written and the arguments that pushed it through were water tight. I doubt that we would have a better chance than right now, to test this in the supreme court

    "What it is to be a slave you know perfectly well, but you have never tried liberty, whether it is sweet or not; for if you had tried it, you would advise us to fight for it, not with spears, but even with hatchets."

    Look at these idiots! those who would oppress you cannot be your friends, your neighbors, your kin, your townfolk, for they do not have the power to, but this. This is the face of oppression. Recognize it.

    "A Tale of Two Cities", column by Terence P. Jeffrey

    http://washingtontimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070720/COMMENTARY/107200024

    quote:A useful illustration of how American freedom could fade away can be seen in a contrast between the city government of Newton, Mass., in 1775, and the city government of Washington, D.C., in 2007.



    On Jan. 2, 1775, as historian David Hackett Fischer recounts in "Paul Revere's Ride," the good people of Newton held a town meeting. The issues they discussed were similar in a certain sort of way to the issues that might be discussed today by the D.C. Council. They included a proposed gun law and entitlement program.



    In Newton, the gun law and entitlement program were one and the same. The Newtonians thought it so important for every man in town to own a gun that they were ready to give him one if he could not afford it. "Voted," say the town records, "that the Selectmen use their best discretion in providing firearms for the poor of the town who are unable to provide for themselves."

    I hope that the Supreme Court refuses to hear the case, and tosses DC's appeal out on its ear. If this happens the Court ruling stands on its merit alone as case law.
