The case won’t be heard until March, with a decision expected anytime after May, this could be a big issue in Election 2008.

It could even spill down to the Senate and House levels.

If GWB can be praised for anything it is putting Roberts and Alito on the court, and his one appointment to the DC circuit was the key to all of this.

[Nathan Zachary]

"“We’re nervous,” president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, Paul Helmke, told the Washington Post. “Anytime you go to the Supreme Court, you could end up with all sorts of gun laws being called into question.”

That's because they are illegal. As it is, the gun laws in DC are draconian, even Canada isn't as bad as DC. Hopefully these attempts by gun grabbers to trample second amendment rights will be put to death once and for all, but you just never know with the level of corruption we have in the judiciary, and their hidden desires to destroy the constitution in favor of UN world courts and laws.

[Emmett McCarthy]

Guiliani can talk all he wants about opposing D.C.’s gun ban because he does favor such onerous regulation and restriction that it makes it all but impossible to exercise one’s GOD-GIVEN right for any person living in NYC. Of course, among the number of things on which Rudy is dead wrong, this is just one.

[Earthdweller]

Hunter scores A+ by NRA on pro-gun rights policies...(in case Hannity didn’t tell you.)

[Beagle8U]

“Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson, John McCain, and Mike Huckabee are staunch Second Amendment advocates..”

That is BS! Romney is a gun grabber and McCain is little better than a moderate RAT on the gun issues.

Fred and Huck are both solid defenders of the RTKBA.

[longtermmemmory]

I think it is telling that Thompson went to a true gun show and the others go to the posure “hunting trip”.

Even hillary did the 2nd amendment sports right trip. (or was that giuliani? they look alike, they dress alike, they even talk alike, it is hard to tell them appart...)

[Still Thinking]

Though it seems to escape the mayor of D.C., Adrian Fenty, who thinks Constitutional rights can be legislated away. ?It?s the will of the people of the District of Columbia that has to be respected,? Mr. Fenty recently said at a news conference. ?We should have the right to make our own decisions.?

How do you even reason with someone like this? Collectivist a$$hole wants to take away other people's choices and justifies it by invoking people's right to make choices. Doh!

Should have been "It's the will of the people of the District of Columbia that has to be respected," Mr. Fenty recently said at a news conference. "We should have the right to make our own other people's decisions."

[A Strict Constructionist]

I think the election could get really interesting if any of our liberal justices cite European laws in their opinions...an ovbious violation of their oath!

[William Terrell]

“It’s the will of the people of the District of Columbia that has to be respected,” Mr. Fenty recently said at a news conference. “We should have the right to make our own decisions.”

Well, no, you don't.

Article 2, Section 8, Clause 17
To exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten miles square) as may, by cession of particular states, and the acceptance of Congress, become the seat of the government of the United States, and to exercise like authority over all places purchased by the consent of the legislature of the state in which the same shall be, for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dockyards, and other needful buildings;

[Dead Corpse]

Adrian Fenty is either insane, stupid, or evil.

People like this fall into one of 3 catagories.

Some are insane. They do not recognize factual history or logic. Something is fundamentally broken inside their heads.

Some are Stupid. They just don't have the intellectual capacity to think for themselves. They parrot what others tell them as they cannot conceive of some ideas on their own.

Some are Evil. They know what they do is wrong. They don't care. Their goal is control over us. No matter how high the bodies must be stacked.

Adrian, IMO, flips back and forth between Evil and Stupid.

[stockstrader]

From the New York Times, March 8, 1994----

Democratic lawmakers praised the Mayor's push for gun control. "It would be great if Mayor Giuliani could become the point Republican pushing comprehensive gun control legislation," said Representative Charles E. Schumer, the Brooklyn Democrat who is the leading proponent of handgun control in the House of Representatives.

A liberal bully President Giuliani and Chuckie Schumer will have LOTS of chances to work together in a bi-partisan manner on this and many other issues in Rudy's liberal social agenda. /s

[Joe Brower]

[Redcloak]

Mr. Giuliani should explain more fully why he opposes the D.C. gun ban but supports other restrictions on Second Amendment rights.

That's because he doesn't oppose the DC gun ban. He supports it and all other gun control laws. He no more believes in gun rights than Bill Clinton believed in welfare reform. Just like Clinton, he's saying what he needs to say to get elected.

[ZULU]

“It’s the will of the people of the District of Columbia that has to be respected,” Mr. Fenty recently said at a news conference. “We should have the right to make our own decisions.”

Suppose the people of Washington D.C. decide to bring back slavery. Should they have that right?

What IDIOTS get elected to office these days. But then they reflect their constituency.

[ExSoldier]

Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson, John McCain, and Mike Huckabee are staunch Second Amendment advocates and all oppose most restrictions on gun rights including D.C.’s. Rudy Giuliani favors some restrictions but opposes the D.C. gun ban. He thinks the Supreme Court should strike it down permanently.

The author must be on crack. Mitt, McLame and Rudy are ALL gun grabbers of the first order! The only time they ever turned their back on a gun law they figured somebody at the national level might be watching. McLame sponsored the Assault Weapons Ban and pushed it. BUT he came out in "favor" of the 2nd Amendment right after the Virginia Tech massacre. He knew somebody would be paying attention to this and hoped to score points with the political base. Sorry, we have long memories and they will include the unconstitutional perfidies of the candidates on this critical issue. Fred, Mike and Duncan (as well as Ron Paul even if he IS a whacko) are all on record as being very pro-gun. But I think that their stances on gun control is what is going to keep Mitt, Rudy and McLame from winning in the south and without the solid south no nomination and no win in the general.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Anyone want to guess how many on the Supreme Court try to twist the plain meaning of “the people” into something it isn’t?

[from occupied ga]

Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson, John McCain, and Mike Huckabee are staunch Second Amendment advocates and all oppose most restrictions on gun rights including D.C.’s.

Romney?!! McCain?!! Dunnow what the author of this load of nonsense has been smoking, but it must be some pretty good sh!t. Those two are hard line anti-gunners.
