"We have already caught the NRA in the huge error of trapping legislators, through the NRA label, into signing onto a bill that allowed carrying military style, long guns, like AK-47s, and concealable Uzis around the District," Norton said,

That woman needs to buy a clue......

the Norton-Waxman, National Capital Security and Safety Act that many predicted would be defeated in committee and on the House floor had a surprising 21-1 victory today

Surprising?

Nah...

Just more proof that our masters - uhhhh - I mean our elected officials are afraid of and don't trust the citizens that elected them.

Of those 22 votes only 4 were Republicans

From the good reps own mouth:

...whose gun laws always have protected the federal interest

and

...not only to protect the federal government....

Says it all. Doesn't it.

For a little up-close, and very personal, with Ms. Holmes-Norton, check out her five-minute interview on Comedy Central's "Colbert Report", "Better Know a District - District of Columbia". Never saw any public figure implode like that. wow.

Issa's idea was generated, in part, by traditional Republican notions concerning federal intrusion into state issues, and he said he was prepared to support the core provision as a matter of home rule.

It seems this should cut both ways. If the federal government can’t dictate firearms policy in D.C., then it can’t dictate firearms policy anywhere else. Therefore, the machine gun ban and all other federally enacted firearms legislation is unconstitutional.

Creepy. But just politics.
