This going to trial is a good thing. By my read of this, the action and law are illegal under Heller. However until there is a successful legal challenge under Heller, the unconstitutional law remains on the books. If the judge does the right thing and makes a verdict in the case in the defendant's favor, there is now a legal challenge to the law, and it can thus be overturned.
The council members keep pushing for DC to become a state.
Sam,Wait...this isn't the federal government sending in troops. This was passed by the DC City Council back in 1975. Being enforced by the DC police. Your Congressman didn't tell them to go do this, and the current President didn't either. This is local politics run amok.
I rather fail to see how you can draw that conclusion from this. Did you vote in any DC City Council elections?
Somehow I don't think a law prohibiting ownership of an empty fired case is coming soon to any state, any where.
Let's not go completely barmy over this. It's disgusting, but it's just DC being DC. If you're not used to the local inside-the-beltway political culture it may shock you -- and it should! -- but don't assume they have anything at all to do with the rest of the nation. It's a bizarre little world in there.
Yes, I have complained to both current Senators and my House Rep about it and didn't get a response from their offices. Not much different than when the original DC gun ban was enacted way back in 1976......... or since then when many different members of Congress were in office.Yes, that is so. Have you called your congressman about this? I wonder how interested he/she will be in "meddling" in DC local council laws.
Disgusting. The founding fathers would be rolling in their graves. I wish the Confederacy would have won.
Hopefully it get overturned. DC will never see a tourist or business dollar from me and I will NEVER go there.
There's the whole idea of jury nullification that does allow for that, but it's a snowball's chance in DC.Juries are not "supposed to" judge a law's constitutionality.
