PING!
Democracy and freedom aren't always the same thing...

DC's strict gun laws must be the reason they have no crime to speak of. /s
To: Luna
I wonder: if they think that is okay to deny the right to bear arms by a simple vote, then the prohibitions on slavery could likewise me nulled..

Excuse me but Congress rules the District of Columbia. Any time Congress wants to override the local DC politicians, they are free to do so.

Ludwig Lewisohn: "Democracy, which began by liberating men politically, has developed a dangerous tendency to enslave him through the tyranny of majorities and the deadly power of their opinion."And that is exactly why the Bill of Rights was put into the Constitution: to prevent government from using majority vote to suppress the minority. And in that, the RKBA was the foremost thought of the guys who founded the nation. For in an armed citizenry, mob rule is not possible, nor is any form of tyranny from within. The only problem is the lack of will on the part of the people to exercise their authority in the matter.

I thought the Constitution already decided that, unless DC isn't part of the US. Come to think of it, it wouldn't be such a bad thing if it weren't.
Actually, I think that one of the lovely federal judges there came to the conclusion that the bill of rights doesn't apply in the District of Columbia.

"..gun laws at the expense of democracy in the nations capital. "
Seems like nothing leftists object to is not an assault on democracy.
To: ALPAPilot
H'm. That's an interesting thought.

This is a transparent attempt to pander to a special interest group without having to worry about the people who have to live in DC. Somebody has too, the DC politicos certainly don't. DC's murder rate is much higher than Texas', where every one, not prohibited by federal law, can own anything the feds allow. That includes machine guns with the proper federal paperwork. That's all because there is no law against it, or in the case of the MG's an exemption in the law. We can also carry concealed handguns, with permission of the state.

Isn't this Josh Horwitz doing the same thing? Worse, he and his organization try to tell Texicans and Tejanos what arms we can or cannot own. Considering that the right to do so is protected by both the federal and state constitutions, I'd say it was Mr. Horwitz that is way out on a limb, and sawing fast.

Liberals like blacks to be defenseless and disarmed. At least they come by their racism honestly. Any black who dreams of protecting himself by arming himself is a slave fleeing the Liberal Plantation and deserves what he has coming to him. Cause liberals don't tolerate blacks who get "too uppity."
