This is FAR better than the outright contempt DC was showing.

Agreed - DC is genuinely concerned Congress may act, and that got their attention. This version is essentially current California reg; 10rd mags and safe storage provisions.

Good evening.

What are the odds that Fenty's position on the Heller decision matches Obama's?

Congressman Billybob said: "From the summary the law may be, for the first time, consistent with the Supreme Court's decision in Heller."

I don't have an electronic copy of Heller handy, so I can't do a search for "arbitrary" or "capricious". I seem to recall those terms being used. What could be more arbitrary than a ten round limit on magazine capacity? If a limit of ten rounds is legal, then wouldn't a limit of TWO be legal?
