What Part Of Unconstitutional Does DC Not Understand?

Washington DC is just so disgusting. I am almost 100% sure our congressmen and president have never actually read the constitution in full length, they don't even read bills entirely before the pass them. The patriot act was hundreds of pages, and they passed it within 24 hours after it was introduced onto the floor! If that is the truth, and we are not allowed to have enabled guns in our home, I say hell with it, don't follow their rules. They are scared of us anyway. Have you noticed that they have been offering money to buy your gun from you??? They did this right before the great depression too, always when there are economical hardships, because they are so scared of us having any power. I say more power to the people, and the constitution, which was made to protect us from them.

If I had to live in DC, I guess I would do what that famous blind man did some years ago. Remember him? He used a chain saw for self defense.

Interested in the rest of the story?

This blind guy was concerned about an enemy he knew he had, so rigged a master switch to all his lights in the house (he didn't use them anyway) and put up 'black out' curtains on all his windows. When he hit the switch, no one but him knew how to move around the house.

The day came when the enemy came after him. Everything went according to plan with the bad guy going to the hospital and the blind man was not charged with anything.

Of course, anybody else would not use the master light switch, but maybe people in DC should get chain saws for their homes.

Hello Gewcew,

Well, I guess it won't be long before the persistent, fascist, selectively deaf District of Columbia leadership will find themselves back in court! The N.R.A. has pronounced a full-scale, counter-attack on all politicians and municipalities who maintain existing, or initiate new code or laws that contradict the recent SCOTUS ruling.

If anyone professes a reverence for the U.S. Constitution, then they must support the effort to thwart fascist defiance of the Second Amendment, with the same vigor with which the support the First Amendment, and each subsequent outlined right. They are after all a packaged deal! Which seems a point of contention for many on the left!

I guess it's time to send another contribution to the N.R.A.!

DC, takes our Constitution and amends it to suit "their" purpose.
Most people there have body guards that "we the people" pay for
and aren't concerned with how we protect ourself. "Is" they really
competent? If it's not something that affects them or money they don't
really care.

I have no idea. I would hate to be in DC (on a tour or a visit in my case) and a vicious killer comes in a room, armed and ready to murder as many people as possible. Those people would be dead before they got their guns ready. Look what happened in Canada when those students in Montreal were murdered by that crazed gunman who hated women. No one had any weapons and could not defend themselves and in some schools down there, students go to school without the hope that they will be going home because some nut might bring a rifle and kill them.
I guess DC wants to get more innocent victims and give more rights to the criminals.

Everyone, please be sure to separate the District of Columbia's local government from the Federal government, the President and Congress. They just happen to be located there.

Having said that, I think the new mandate is ridiculous and likely to be overturned. I spent more than 40 years living in Maryland, not far from D.C., and I hated going to that city for a variety of reasons but the main one was that too many areas of D.C. are dangerous. I have always pitied the people who lived in that crime infested city who were not permitted to arm themselves, yet illegal guns were everywhere. D.C. was known as the Murder Capitol for years...I'm not sure if it still is...because the rate of violent crime was so high and shootings were a part of daily life. Allowing lawful citizens to be armed is necessary and, I believe, will reduce the overall number of violent crimes in the city.

If not for immediate self-defense, why in the heck does anyone want a handgun? I have thoughts on this, but people would think I forgot to take my medication today if I expressed them here.

And just how would they plan to enforce this? Search every home for guns to find out if they are stored by their guidelines. Sorry, but even IF such a change could be made (doubtful) they aren't going to be able to ensure that its implemented. I know I for one would not comply.

How can anyone be surprised by this. Washington D.C. is so a$$-backwards it's pathetic. This is the same city that knowingly reelected a crackhead, Marion Barry, as mayor. The fact that he was arrested several times afterwards didn't stop them from reelecting him again. It's just pathetic.

Obviously they're trying to circumvent the right to bear arms. If they can't stop people from carrying guns they're going to reduce guns to useless props for everyone except for the criminals. The right to bear arms assumes that you are bearing functional weapons. A disassembled or unloaded gun is not a functional weapon unless you're one of the rare folks out there who can assemble one in less than a minute. Most of us would simply be shot in the head as we fiddled with our disassembled weapon or tried to load it.

And it won't change until some of these people demanding for gun control have something happen to them in which they could have saved their life or the life of their loved ones if they had had a way to protect themeselves. When they tell the home invader "hold on! I have to get my dishes to throw at you to protect myself!!" nad the home invader pulls a knife and ignores the request, maybe then they'll figure it out.
