What is one of, if not the most dangerous city in America, year after year? If you answered Washington D.C. you get a shiny new nickle. Now, there are many reasons that our nations capital is always near the top of lousier places to be. Tell you what folks I could care less about the reasons. I want good people to be able to effectively defend themselves and others from the bad people.
I also know that many of my friends on the Internet will disagree with what I am about to say. If you are a law abiding, meaning no felonies on your record, person that is a citizen without any serious mental problems, then you should be able to own any weapon that you can afford that is a personal weapon. By that I mean no crew served weapons. If you are against that, then state why you are. Look folks, the FBI has said that we have Hamas and Hezbolla terrorist’s among us. What are you going to fight them with? A 22 single shot rifle? If so, you had better be good with it, very good. Oh, you are not going to fight them? Welcome to the religion of peace then.
If this thing that Washington DC has foisted upon the people that live there spreads across the land, as in it being upheld, then you might as well invest in a prayer rug. Oh, and hand over your daughters to the drug gangs, at least until the head banging worshipers take over.

| This week, the District of Columbia formally filed its petition for review, asking the Supreme Court to hear its appeal of Parker v. District of Columbia (now District of Columbia v. Heller).
On July 16, D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty announced the city would appeal the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court. As we reported in the July 20, Grassroots Alert, while it is too early to tell whether the Supreme Court will choose to hear the appeal, the District’s action sets the stage for a possible showdown over the meaning of the Second Amendment. Since enacting its gun ban, D.C. has ranked at or near the top of the list of most violent cities in America, often earning the distinction of being the nation’s murder capital. Nonetheless, supporters of the law are continuing to parrot their ridiculous claim that, without this constitutionally offensive statute, things would have been much worse! The 30-year-old D.C. experiment has failed. The D.C. gun ban doesn’t make its citizens safer. It does not prevent criminals from getting guns. And it violates the U.S. Constitution. Stay tuned for future developments on this story. |
On March 9, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled, in Parker v. District of Columbia, that D.C.’s prohibition on the possession of a handgun, and keeping any gun assembled and loaded in the home (the condition required for self-defense), are unconstitutional. The court agreed that the Second Amendment protects a pre-existing right of individuals, not a so-called “right” of a state to maintain a select militia, or a privilege to have guns only when serving in a select militia. The court also ruled that individuals have a right to possess handguns.

The law is senseless, unconstitutional and has hendered dc citizens such as myself from doing anything against the many violent crimes that are done daily..Maybe they(dc lawmakers) think we should wait 3-4 hours for the police to show up and do nothing as usual and say “we had other emergencies to handle” maybe they(police) mean more needless traffic stops and seatbelt tickets.They usually tell me that when i call the police when something happens in my neiborhood.The only thing that the 30 year old ban does is insure that we will be nice and unarmed when the criminals point a gun in our face and tell us to empty our pockets. Criminals will have guns no matter how many stupid laws you make, because thats what criminals do they break laws, law abiding sitizens dont want to go to jail for trying to defend themselves, so we(law abiding citizens) will go unarmed and cannot enjoy recreational shooting activities ect, such as other states such as texas for ex.Dont let them take our 2nd amendment and leave us as sitting ducks so that we have to depend on police that cant show up within 3 hours of an emergency call..
