		<description>The WashPo and WashTimes both had big pictures of Mayor Fenty and Chief Lanier, each of whom were sporting a lower lip that seemed to be dragging the ground. These petulent children act as if the sky was falling. What did they expect? Fenty should never have appealed the ruling. Now D.C. is a nationwide joke once again. Liberals don't want to do the right thing, that's too hard. They want to feel warm and fuzzy and not hold people responsible for their actions. Blame the Guns!!

The next lawsuit should be for concealed carry. Jim Webb has one! :-)

One by one, all of the big city handgun restrictions will fall. 

Wouldn't be a bad time for a D.C. Resident to get their Federal Firearms License.</description>

		<description>It's ironic that you bring up that statement from Jefferson.  Jefferson was the father (if you will) of today's democratic party.  How further from his vision could they have gone then wanting gun bans.  It makes no sense at all.

If nothing else, the democrats should ADVOCATE for individual gun ownership to protect themselves from authoritative republican rule.

But, I've seen stranger things.

I'm thankful that the majority of the Justices believe that I have a right to gun ownership.  And, its good to know that they support that constitutional right.  However, our 'rights' are derived by our Creator (or lack of if you swing that way) and not by the Constitution.  They're just enshrined in that beautiful document.</description>

		<description>The ruling is well worth the read if you can find the time (157 pages - link below).

Scalia, writing for the majority, took the dissenting opinions to task, at one point referring to one of Steven's arguments as "worthy of the mad hatter".  :-)

One of my favorites by TJ is:

As to the species of exercise, I advise the gun. While this gives a moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body, and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks.

TJ is my favorite founding father. Given the state of modern professional athletics, I like the "games played with the ball" statement.</description>

		<description>It is distressing how perilously close we came to having the second amendment gutted from the bench.  One vote the other way and a big chunk of our liberty is stolen by the liberals, and that would have been just the begginning.  

Should that have happened, the only alternative for The People to preserve this liberty under the new errenous interpretation would be to actually form militias.  Think about that for a minute.

Folks, this uncivil idealogical war between right (conservatives) and wrong (liberals) is close to boiling over.  The liberals are waging an assault against the traditional conservative principals of this country and we can't let them win.  An Obama victory, or worse an attempt on his life, and things could get out of hand quickly.  Be prepared.

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

		<description>Our disconnected "representatives" in all levels of our government should sit up and pay heed: we are sick of your elitist, "nanny" attitude. We the PEOPLE will decide what's best for us, and it's turning out that it's NOT YOU!

We will uphold our right to defend ourselves.

We will force you to do your duty and protect us from illegal aliens and those who would harm us.

Remember, you were elected. It's not an entitlement. Do your job or go back to being a lawyer.</description>

		<description>This seems like a no-brainer.  And the vote was 5-4.

The court is as polarized and political as the rest of America.  It's hard to respect this process.</description>
