Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch fired a shot heard around the District of Columbia this week. Three days ago, he introduced legislation to repeal the draconian gun-control laws that prevent Washington residents from owning handguns.

Finally he's making himself useful; instead of trying to make computers blow-up and allowing foreigners to be elected president.

I don't know. If D.C residents have the mind to elect a crackhead mayor, will they be bright enough to go along with this?

Just the idea of them repealing the gun ban in DC bring to mind the image of criminals fleeing the city like fleas jumping off a drowning rat.

Putting more guns on the street in DC will not make anything better. DC may have the strictest gun laws, but the simple fact is that for more than 20 years it has had a subway system that lets anyone in DC zip out to either Maryland or Virginia, two states where guns are sold at department stores and shopping malls. DC is a petri dish of sociological problems and letting more people have guns means letting more of the problem people have guns. Not a very calming thought.

when this bill is voted down, and it might well be, the resounding echoes of guns being fired into the night will be deafening... the criminals celebrating victory over the lawabiding citizens of DC...

donQ, perhaps you should put some ice on all those blisters from the flaming you are getting...

it is sad that we need to legislate our rights... very sad
