    Handguns aren't banned in DC anymore actually. A federal appeals court overturned that law, citing the 2nd Amendment. First time in US history. Pretty cool.

    Not that DC gunowners needed permission...

    Actually they appealed that and the decision currently lies with the supreme court scheduled for a ruling on the meaning of the second amendment..as in does it apply to the militia, the people, or both a very serious case.... being as I see the 2nd reading as both parties and the militia being the people it seems so ridiculous to me that we've even taken it this far...

    No suprise, but it may be better in the end. I'm no fan of the recent appointments to the supreme court, but I think they'll read the 2nd as a right of the people.

    I think they uphold it.

    X2 but I have to say not being a fan is an understatement some of them have a twisted view of reality... but I agree If I remember correctly a majority of them are true supporters of the 2nd amendment could be a landmark decision... so I'm waiting in anticipation...
