Default DC Gun Ban

It was incredible news of an appeals court refusing to reconsider D.C. the gun ban repeal (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,270873,00.html)

Below is a brief clip of District of Columbia Delegate Eleanor Holmes ordering a crowd of those against the unconstitutional DC Gun Ban to "Pipe down!" at a past meeting.

I guess the DC City Council wants to take away the people of DC's right to an opinion as well.

Norton is nothing more than a wannabe congresswoman from a corrupt city that doesn't want to be a state. I've met her briefly before. She has no personality and even less of an intellect.

No, technically not. The city has the right to establish a licensing and regulation commission, which they are dragging their feet with. The DC law was unconstitutional, but there aren't yet any new laws that aren't. Limbo.

It cracks me up. D.C. has a gun ban, yet has one of the highest crime rates. Hmmmmm something is fishy.

The criminals who make up most of the DC electorate voted down the death penalty a few years ago. The DC jail is in Lorton, Virginia, something that i do not understand at all. Also do not understand why the citizens of VA do not demand it's removal from Virginia.

It's all about money. Virginians really don't want it there, but the legislature and governor seem content with it. The ironic part is that Lorton, once a relatively depressed, working class area on the river, is moving on up as the sprawl radiates out from Washington and people snatch McMansions as fast as they're built.
