Yet another DC law found to violate our constitutionally protected rights

Anonymous
DC's government, since the 1970s, has passed numerous unconstitutional laws. Courts have repeatedly slapped down these gross violations of our civil rights, and forced DC to respect the rights of its citizens.

In the latest example, DC's draconian laws on permits limiting the lawful carry of defensive arms were again found to violate our constitutionally protected rights:

Briefly: the law was written to allow DC officials to deny virtually all requests for a permit to carry a defensive firearm in DC (just as Maryland denies almost all such requests).

Since the "constitutional right" in question is outdated and dangerous, I agree with the DC government.

People called the idea of abolition "outdated and dangerous" prior to the civil war.

I am a DC resident and am fully in favor of any laws that curtail open or concealed carry in my city. And I will continue to vote for officials who support that.

And are you supporting them?

There is more than ample evidence to show that gun control needs to be tighter in this country. I stand by what I said.

States can and should be able to regulate guns in the public sphere. There is no constitutional right to carry your gun everywhere.

So where do you draw the line? Do we bar the first amendment because your feelings may get hurt? I hate anchor babies, does a state just decide to not give citizenship because they don't like the 14th amendment?

Feelings be damned - it's lives I'm talking about.

The fact you can't understand this says a lot about you and it's not pretty.

The Supreme Court says otherwise. The DC government is a joke.

Uh, no. They did not call the idea of abolition "outdated" because it was a new concept. Ladies and Gentleman, see exhibit A, above: the feverish logic of an open or concealed carry supporter.
