Freedom Hating Anti-Gunners are Making a Serious Challenge to Our Second Amendment Right to Bear Arms
Where else should this challenge come from, but by worthless Washington DC, home of the highest crime rate in the nation (I wonder why?). DC has already banned handgun from their violence riddle city, but now they are going after the whole enchilada, a ban on ownership of all guns by a private citizen.
I have mixed feelings about this, on one hand I hate the idea of the bleed-heart liberal anti-gunners trying to take away my constitutional right to bear arms. And on the other hand, I want to see this issue be settle once and for all.
The liberal mindset can't understand the idea of a militia is not just military group, but is individually armed citizens. The Founding Fathers knew what they were doing when they wrote this amendment into the Constitution, they knew that the people needed to be armed to forestall a tyrannical Gov't, which was their intent when they included it. How are the people suppose to prevent the trouncing of their other rights if they don't have the capacity to fight back? The Founding Fathers experienced this themselves, so they knew what would help prevent it - armed citizens.
This case will be closely watched, because these socialist are attacking the Constitution directly and knowingly, and the Constitution must prevail. I see this case going all the way to the Supreme Court, and let's pray that they are bold and smart enough to preserve the Constitution, not rely on 'foreign' law or completely ignore the Constitution, as written, and make their own law as we see in the liberal judicial system.

In a case that could shape firearms laws nationwide, attorneys for the District of Columbia argued Thursday that the Second Amendment right to bear arms applies only to militias, not individuals.
The city defended as constitutional its long-standing ban on handguns, a law that some gun opponents have advocated elsewhere. Civil liberties groups and pro-gun organizations say the ban in unconstitutional.
At issue in the case before a federal appeals court is whether the Second Amendment right to "keep and bear arms" applies to all people or only to "a well regulated militia." The Bush administration has endorsed individual gun-ownership rights but the Supreme Court has never settled the issue.

Courts have upheld bans on automatic weapons and sawed-off shotguns but this case is unusual because it involves a prohibition on all pistols. Voters passed a similar ban in San Francisco last year but a judge ruled it violated state law. The Washington case is not clouded by state law and hinges directly on the Constitution.
"We interpret the Second Amendment in military terms," said Todd Kim, the District's solicitor general, who told the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit that the city would also have had the authority to ban all weapons.
