Gura said that he and Levy met on Thursday with leaders from the National Rifle Association, "which had been pushing this legislation" to eliminate the D.C. gun ban, but "we believe that they've seen the light. They've given us their assurances that they are not interested in ruining the case."

"And [NRA President] Wayne LaPierre told us we can take that to the bank," Gura said.

Thank you NRA. Some Freepers were saying the NRA was working in keeping the ban. According to this, it sounds like the NRA was worried about bringing this to the Supreme Court where we could lose. If we could rid the District of the ban through the legislature, why risk everything by going to the USSC?

The Parker lawyers think we're going to win this thing. Finally.

Because, right now, the finding only applies to DC. If the keep it out of the USSC, it will just affect DC gun law - and to heck with the rest of us.

See, they would rather DC gun law gets trashed, than ALL THE DANG GUN LAWS IN THE COUNTRY do.

Which is why Mayor-for-life Barry moved to repeal the law.

I can't imagine a better, clearer court decision to present to the SC than this DC decision. It flat out says the 2A is an individual right, and does a very good job of explaining why, and it's true. I'd like to see the matter decided on a positive note. Otherwise, the question may get presented by an anti-2A decision in the heat of emotion and political pressure following some crime spree, with Dems screaming for gun bans and registration.
