I’m worried because of decisions like Kelo. In the DC gun case, some possible decisions:
1. It’s a municipality, in fact; a city, and therefore...
2. It’s federal territory, and that means...
3. It’s your home, and one’s home is one’s castle, that the rain may enter but the King may not.

Number 3 is practically a fairy tale now. “Once upon a time there used to be a place where dreams are born, miles beyond the reach of the king; it’s not on any chart...it’s right there where you stand!”

If it defined a DC home as being under federal or local jurisdiction with regard to gun possession, a ruling for gun grabbers would be like a court order to enter the premises of every home in America. It’s hard to imagine the Court letting that happen.

But then again...Kelo.

Whose home is it? Yours or your neighbor’s, your town council’s, the developers, the state’s, the federal government’s?

I saw on The Grapevine last night, that the property the house was on is now vacant.

Seems that the businessman who "stoled" the property by Judaical activism has no one offering to join him in building up the property.

I’m worried because DC isn’t a state. Doesn’t it say “no STATE” shall restrict..?
