Washington, D.C. Mayor Adrian M. Fenty made good on his vow to contest the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruling that the city’s 1976 handgun ban is unconstitutional, because the Second Amendment applies to individuals as well as to militias - and the Supreme Court is now considering whether to take up the issue of what the Founding Fathers meant by these words”

Absolute, unadulterated idiocy. All one has to do to see what the founding fathers meant ...is to simply look at the original 13 State Constitutions regarding the ownership of guns. Once you read those....there is no confusion.

Yes, I agree. I am hoping the Supreme Court refuses to grant cert, figuring that the DC Appeals Court did it’s dirty work for them. Then the decision stands and the DC ban is history. Unfortunately, absent a clear ruling from the high court, each local ban will have to be contested. But as in D.C., the NRA will find willing citizens to step up.
