Yep, we'll just continue making it so restrictive that no one besides the chosen few can exercise their Constitutional 2nd Amendment rights.

It'll be interesting to see how Judge Scullin rules on this, "But gun owners have criticized the permitting scheme as too restrictive, citing the fact that the Metropolitan Police Department requires proof of a “good reason” why a gun owner would need to carry a firearm for protection."

D.C. gives up on ban on carrying guns in public
By Andrea Noble - The Washington Times - Wednesday, April 1, 2015
Washington, D.C., will drop its appeal of a federal court ruling that overturned the city’s ban on carrying handguns in public, Attorney General Karl Racine announced Wednesday.
City attorneys will instead focus on defending concealed-carry laws adopted by legislators in the months after U.S. District Court Judge Frederick J. Scullin Jr. declared the ban was unconstitutional.
“We need to focus our energies not on litigating old laws, but defending new ones that our leaders enacted in good faith to comply with court rulings while still protecting public safety,” Mr. Racine said.
