Not all of the battles have been fought and won. There are idiots still in office and, it's up to us, the voting public, to vote folks "in" that will actually represent out views.

The citizens of D.C. have that duty before them. Whether, or not, they do it is up to them.

It was naive, in retrospect, to think that the D.C. politicos were going to "cave in" based on the SCOTUS decision. D.C. citizens will end up with the governing body that they "deserve". That plain, that simple.

However, it is not up to the people of Washington D.C. to usurp the Bill of Rights.

I believe that police in Washington D.C. use Glock 17's as their duty weapon. I have to ask why the D.C. police need machine guns as duty pistols. Does anyone else wonder about this?

Ever driven through Shaw or Anacostia? The police, the citizens, any and all visitors should be armed with (real) machine guns, bazookas, grenade launchers, and probably small tactical nuclear warheads. Civilian DC is a criminal playground and the whole place should have been paved long ago for federal parking. Just my $0.02. I am currently sentenced to work here and bought a house in MD before doing my research. Even still, I have a loaded pistol on the nightstand (round chambered, thank you very much) and a scattergun in the corner for the day when the zombies come shuffling out of that god-forsaken hole.

I'm not a resident of DC, but that sort of unlawful behavior just irks me to no end.

"The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed -- where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once." - Judge Kozinski

Why do people say "Redneck" like it is a bad thing?

What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand???

I agree. I've taken Arizona's laws for granted for far too many years. When I do move back east I'm going to aim for a gun friendly one and just commute. Darn gov't jobs being in anti-cities

I wonder if S&W took their X-frame and set it up for .357 mag, could they fit 12 rounds in the cylinder?

If you need to work in DC, don't move to maryland! Stick to Virginia. MD isn't the most gun friendly place. Not the worst, but not good.

DC to be the "model" for compliant SCOTUS decision??? MY ASS!!! Mad

Let's hope the rest of the country won't follow in their THIRD WORLD & despotic ideology. Basically, THEY (in DC) want to turn this country into a foreign country that suits THEIR taste. You could name a dozen or so countries that they would like to "model" themselves after.

Turn your back even on a SCOTUS order. Shameful bastards, ALL OF THEM. Mad
Sounds familiar to me, "you've made your decision, now let's see you enforce it..." History repeats itself far too often. This phrase wasn't from gun control but still spits in the face of checks and balances.




Lock and Load!!!

"D.C. residents who want to register handguns must complete an application from MPD's firearms registration section, pass a written firearms test and provide photos, proof of residency and proof of good vision."

What defines good vision? Sounds like a violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA).

This post implys in no way myself, lunchbox would ever vote or shoot a bullet at any one for any reason unless in the defence of my self or others, unles someone else does first, then its just that riot mentality thing they talked about in the LA riots; at that point the animal instinct kicks in and i have no control.

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms. . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." -- Thomas Jefferson, Commonplace Book, 1774-1776, quoting from On Crimes and Punishment, by criminologist Cesare Beccaria, 1764
