She represents D.C. and is very resentful that the SCOTUS might overturn a handgun ban there.

She claims it's a local matter and most locals want the ban in place.

However this is a woman who pushes and cosponsors every NATIONWIDE gun bill introduced in Congress.

Why does she have a stick in her craw that folks in Montana can own AR-15 type semi auto rifles?

Why leave D.C.'s laws alone but change everyone else's gun laws?
 
I went to a congressional hearing on the DC gun ban in the summer of 2005, with Norton, the DC Mayor, DC police chief, and Lott. It was full of the usual rhetoric but I remember Norton getting pissed when a pro-gun congressman from Indiana kept calling her "Delegate Norton" instead of Congress woman like everyone else. I thought it was pretty funny.
 
Imagine her response if we make a few substitutions....

She represents Virginia and is very resentful that the SCOTUS might overturn a Slavery ban there.

Pesky thing, that Constitution.
 
Just be glad she doesn't have a vote. There are some clips of her on the Colbert Report (getting to know a precint), which was pretty funny.
 
I don't think gun bans work all that well, but they are even less effective when there is no security between states and that neighbor state allows lawful possession.
