a few thoughts on DC Appeals Court ruling in Parker, this past Friday
1. Interestingly, as has been pointed out by others, at other sites, this is the first time than any federal court flatly ruled that a "gun law" , in this case restrictions and or a ban, was UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Appeals will likely be tried, so the final word has not been had, however the DC Appeals Court ruling is certainly "interesting".
2. Respecting other proposed federal gun laws, seems as if there are always some, how different, really different are they from the Washington D.C. garbage that was found UNCONSTITUTIONAL? Seems as if the answer would be NOT VERY, which leads to the following question. Might it prove worth while for gun owners to bring this court finding to the attention of their elected things, thereby raising perhaps significant question as to the constitutionality of PROPOSED legislation. Seems as if such might be the case, but that is a judgment that each of us should make. Strikes me as worthy of thought. Re contact with your federal elected things, they have local (district) offices of course. Additionally, the TOLL FREE phone number for Capitol Switchboard is as follows. 1-866-220-0044. The ladies who answer will put callers through to any congressional office requested. The rest is up to individuals.
