[:(!]The Decision Is Judicial Activism at Its Worst.
Two right-wing federal judges who are hostile to gun laws have negated the democratically-expressed will of the people of the District of Columbia. If the decision stands, two federal judges will have deprived the citizens of the District of a strict handgun law enacted thirty years ago and still strongly supported by the people of the District, including its law enforcement community.
The gun lobby threatens to achieve through the courts
what it has been unable to achieve in Congress.
The Decision Defies almost Seventy Years of U.S. Supreme Court Precedent and Is Out of Step with Virtually Every Other Court Decision Interpreting the Second Amendment.
The Parker decision is in direct defiance of a 1939 Supreme Court decision, and at least seventy-five federal and state court rulings that have followed, including nine other federal appeals courts, which have ruled that the Second Amendment must be read in light of the express purpose of the Amendment - to ensure the effectiveness of organized state militias.
The Court in Parker effectively deleted the first half of the Second Amendment.
The Decision Will Embolden the Gun Lobby and Could Lead to a Tidal Wave of Lawsuits and Court Proceedings Challenging Sensible Gun Laws.The Parker decision found that the Second Amendment guarantees an "individual right" to keep and bear arms, unrelated to the militia. This will embolden criminal defense lawyers to argue that indictments and convictions for violations of gun laws must be thrown out because the laws themselves violate the "individual right" to bear arms.
If the U.S. Supreme Court, or other lower courts, ultimately adopt the "individual rights" instead of the "militia" view of the Second Amendment, it will be an open invitation to activist judges to second-guess democratically-elected leaders at all levels of government who favor strong gun laws.
The Decision Will Put at Risk Life-Saving Gun Laws of Every Kind by its "Individual Rights" Theory.
Once the right to keep and bear arms is divorced from its textual and historical connection to a well-regulated militia, there is no telling how far activist judges in future cases will go in protecting this imagined "individual right."
AT RISK: The federal machine gun ban.
The NRA has long argued it violates the Second Amendment.
AT RISK: The Brady Law.
The gun lobby has long argued that the exercise of "constitutional rights" should not be subject to a background check.
AT RISK: The 1968 Gun Control Act,
which regulates the sale of guns by licensed dealers. The gun lobby will argue that the constitutional right to possess guns implies a right to sell them free of government regulation.
AT RISK: State licensing and registration laws.
The gun lobby will argue that individuals should not have to seek government permission to exercise a constitutional right.
If the Parker case reaches the U.S. Supreme Court, which it may well do, it will produce the definitive judicial ruling on the meaning of the Second Amendment that will determine the fate of sensible gun laws for a generation.

Uh, hello, DC is a snake pit. The bad people don't obey any laws. I go there every year, for the last 15 anyway, and won't leave the hotel after dark because I'm not allowed to protect myself as I can when I'm home in Indiana. I do however have a pocketknife and 8 cell flashlight I put in my luggage. Don't know for sure If I am OK to have that or not and don't really care ! [xx(] 0 -
If I had custody of the neutron bombs, the first one would drop on paris and the second one DC . . . or maybe the other way around. And if I had four, Boston and San Freaksco also would have a much better class of inhabitants - rats.
As to the brady witch, it's a shame her cancer has not progressed more rapidly.0 -
Aint it a damned shame she wasn't standing in front of her husband when Hinkley shot him. bleen that bleening gripe. I hope the bleening gripe dies painfully. bleening gripe, I'm so sick of her poop. she can kiss my "assult weapon" owning ass. 0 -
"Our main agenda is to have ALL guns banned. We must use whatever means possible. It doesn't matter if you have to distort facts or even lie. Our task of creating a socialist America can only succeed when those who would resist us have been totally disarmed."
