...like that has ever worked.

You want to bring guns into a community without our consent ......you win.....but don't wrapped it into some major rights victory for DC citizens who have no rights given we don't elect your government and pay federal taxes unlike citizens in US territories.

That's it, let's break cities financially who don't want guns in public. Hoyt Feb 2012 #64

BS Suits? NaturalHigh Feb 2012 #65

Because some yahoo filed a law suit that got the 5 right wing Justices to vote the NRA way. Hoyt Feb 2012 #66

And who so provocatively attracted that law suit? SteveW Feb 2012 #68

You didn't read the dissenting justices opinions did you? AtheistCrusader Feb 2012 #75

Stevens and the other three who agreed with his dissent didn't buy into the NRA's view. Hoyt Feb 2012 #76

Didn't they? AtheistCrusader Feb 2012 #77

I am fine with that. Keep them in your homes - although with some restrictions on numbers and type. Hoyt Feb 2012 #78

The 2nd doesn't appear to allow for that, and the dissent leaned heavily upon Miller. AtheistCrusader Feb 2012 #79

IIRC, gejohnston Feb 2012 #80

That is correct, the entire Miller case defendant side was unrepresented DonP Feb 2012 #81

Miller was a no show, too. He was dead. MicaelS Feb 2012 #82
