I just read an article today, that in the past 30 days, every day in Chicago, a kid in Chicago Public Schools has been murdered.
Why do Chicago and DC have such terrible murder rates? Chicago has the 2nd most stringent gun laws/bans. They say "well imagine how bad it would be if we DIDN'T ban guns." In other words, they are morons. |

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.

I wasn't offended. If I was black, I would have been. The comparison is offensive. Do you not see why? Then you need to study the racial history in our country again and the South's massive resistance to desegregating. What DC is doing is not even close. And it's not about race; it's about guns.

"Even then, D.C. gun owners would be prohibited from keeping their gun loaded unless they could demonstrate that, as the city's new gun law says, the firearm is being used against a reasonably perceived threat of immediate harm." As I reread it I see that it is only talking about having it loaded. I thought it said they had to show a threat of immediate harm to have one at all. That changes my thinking. Still, I don't think that particular language will pass muster because it erects an impossibly high hurdle. I will, however, fess up to having misread it the first time around.

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.

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