I suppose the key to the trigger lock will be kept by the DC cops.
How are the Gov Schmucks going to prove/know, how fast you can remove a trigger lock and shoot the intruder, when hit fits the sham.
Can they prove you did not have a trigger lock?
So , they coming into your house to see if their locked, bad idea.
Someone who can afford to will need to take this back to the SC.
D.C. know that no one can or will.
“Trigger locks? How can they even enforce such a mandate?”
It is to make sure that a majority of citizens are criminals at any given time.
File another suit.
“Guns will also still require trigger locks.”
Cretins! Morons! Scum!
Do we need to rewrite the majority decision in Blinglish so that these idiots may comprehend it?
Yup, that’s the rule here in Ohio. I actually don’t mind - some of those are good locks, and I find other uses for them...
Excellent point!
Coming soon to a liberal controlled district near you:
District residents will be able to pray in the home for self-defense but that right would be limited to the home and not outside it, city leaders said today, announcing prayer regulations in response to the Supreme Court's recent ruling striking down the city's religion ban.
Before you know it, a suit challenging this law on ADA grounds will be filed. The poor leftists will be all torn up trying to figure out which side they should be on.
Wheee! This should be fun! Stock up on popcorn!
There are a lot of legally blind folks out there who are impressive shooters.
Yup. The NRA was against Heller going to te SCOTUS because they were scared to death of an adverse ruling. Now that Heller has been decided, the NRA is going to go off using it to challenge gun laws, as will numerous other organizations and even individuals.
Are you legally blind?
You could well win.
If literacy tests cannot be required for voting, they shouldn't be allowed as a requirement for any other constitutional right.
However, to have any chance of success, the lawsuit needs to be filed by a liberal-recognized minority protected class. Do you know of a blind, black lesbian who would be willing to serve as class plaintiff?
The whole thing is to let you know that THEY are still in charge of your rights an that THEY will measure them out as THEY see fit. Looks like they need another lawsuit to slap them silly again.
However, any gun kept in the owner’s home would have to be kept unloaded and disassembled or else disabled by a trigger lock. The only time that requirement is not in force, under the proposal law, would be when the gun was “being used to protect against a reasonably perceived threat of immediate harm to a person” within that person’s home.
That provision, officials told reporters, was meant to allow a handgun owner to get the gun and load it — for example, if a burglar were at the door. It would not allow the gun to be loaded or assembled or unlocked at all times it remained in the home.
I am sure that nice burglar will wait at the door until the homeowner is loaded, unlocked and ready. I predict another Supreme smackdown for these folks.
The incorporation doctrine needs to be applied to the Bill of Rights and namely the 2nd Amendment by the SCOTUS. Until then, this is the crap that will be pulled.
Now in DC you will have prohibition through regulation and red tape.
As a white, Christian, male, pro-America conservative, I might be a minority class of one.
Thank you Socialist Democrats. You folks are so good to us.
