Parker v. DC: Mayor Fenty to file appeal

[Sam Adams]

The few suitable guns available, aside from being wildly overpriced, are becoming discernibly inferior to what is being fielded for battle today.

Demonstrably true. However, I don't think that a court (or The Court) will view that as a ban. Our only hope at this time appears to be the recognition by The Court that the 2nd protects pre-existing, non-violable individual rights, rights which include restrictions on government authority to limit the ownership of firearms suitable for militia use. Once that is established, 922(o) can go the way of the Do-Do bird with the next court case, and we'll be able to buy newer and better full autos for reasonable prices. Oh, and Ted Kennedy's and Chuckie Schumer's heads will explode in apoplectic fits on the Senate floor.

I meant to add that I'd try challenging the cost, and the fact that driving the price up means that only a few people can get one. Then there the fact that I doubt there's enough (300 million or so IIRC) legal guns to equip eveybody, and so the militia can't equip.
