Here, the Court said "YOU CAN'T BAN THE OWNERSHIP OF HANDGUNS IN THE HOME OUTRIGHT B/C THE SECOND AMENDMENT IS AN INDIVIDUAL RIGHT" and DC is now saying "FINE, WE WON'T BAN HANDGUNS IN THE HOME, BUT WE'RE GOING TO MAKE IT HARD TO GET ONE AND ALLOW IT TO BE LOADED IN LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES."

Do you not see the difference? The District moved only as far as the Court required it to.

Congress is not going to touch this. The 101st Airborne is not coming to DC. More inapt and offensive comparisons.

So, the DC leaders are saying that homeowners will just have to deal with an armed intruder intent on causing harm to the owner and his/her family.

If I ever get stupid and decide to live in DC, please remind me of this.

DC leaders are saying, "The Supreme Court said the reason the 2nd Amendment is an individual right is because of self defense. So we will allow you to have guns for self-defense. If an intruder comes into your home, fire away. But you can't take the gun outside your home."

Did the Supreme Court say that the 2nd Amendment is an individual right only for self defense? OR did it say that it is an individual right, period?

I don't recall ever hearing that it is for self defense only.

You're right, it didn't say it was a right only for self-defense. But self-defense was one Scalia's primary rationales for reading the text the way he did. But all the held at the end of the day was that you can't ban the possession of a handgun in the home. That's it and that's all.

The DC governmetn is just testing what they can do, and they are saying they're only going to go inches at a time. Nothing anywhere says they have to do any more than that.

At the end of the day, all you are is a bully.

You have no idea why attorneys should be disbarred, obviously.

If anything, they should get a raise for being smart lawyers: complying with the Supreme Court's decision, but only as much as they have to, as the citizens they represent wish.

seriously, can I file it? I will suggest to NRA friends that they pursue this.

That they can look at the SCOTUS ruling and say that someone can't keep a loaded gun in their home is criminal.
