Well, it was plain to see that if given ANY leeway in enforcement of this ruling, and that if no penalties to any agency or entity in this enforcement were to not comply with the ruling...

Nothing much is going to happen to correct this issue anytime soon...

All in the name of NOT rocking the boat and upsetting the liberal progressives in this country...

I look at it this way...You do not have to live in D.C., it is a small place surrounded by some fairly amiable states that do respect and understand the issues of individual, unalienable rights of its citizens...If you work there, unfortunately you take your chances...I don’t like those odds for myself and for others in that situation...

IIRC, when the decision came to a 5-4 split, that, to me, was NOT a resounding victory in my opinion...

Here it is a while later, and we still have problems implementing and enforcing the ruling...

I say it is a victory for the opposition...

Bottom line: I and many others still have our weapons...And if it ever came down to an outright ban and confiscation...

There are going to be a whole gaggle of people very unhappy trying to pick up any appreciable amount of our bang-sticks...

That will be a fact...

Couple that with the fact that the majority made clear that restrictions on certain types of firearms is still allowable as well as "reasonable" restrictions on places where you can excercise your Second Amendment rights (schools), the decision was gutted and opened-up for liberal shenanigans.

I said this on the day Heller was decided (you can find the posts here on FR) that the decision was not a victory because it could easily result in only allowing single-shot pistols in the home.

The key is putting great judges on the the SCOTUS. That will not happen with a second term of Obama.

DC is surrounded on three sides by Maryland and one side by GA. Maryland is NOT a gun friendly state. Md. is one of the few states that are still "may issue" rather than "shall issue". It also has a ban on various typed of firearms, and additional restrictions on full auto, etc. The only right that is fully exercised in the Peoples' Democracy of MD is teh right of the indolent to used the power of government to rob the hardworking.
