In an editorial today within the Washington Times,  they point out the absurd ways that the Washington DC city council attempts to ignore the constitutional rights of residents.  The landmark Heller law suit made it clear that even district resident have a constitutional right to keep arms.  The city's outright ban on firearms was tossed aside as it should have been.

After loosing the suit, the city went to work making it expensive and difficult for a resident to lawfully acquire a firearm.  Now that the last FFL(federal firearms license) operating within the district is moving out, residents have no way to purchase a gun.  Federal law says you can only buy a pistol within your home state.  Since there are no more FFLs in DC, residents are left without a legal means to purchase a pistol.  The courts ruled they have a right to do so, but now they can't.  The Second Amendment Foundation has stepped up to the plate and filed suit on behalf of Michelle Lane.  Hopefully when this suit is completed, Lane will be able to visit a gun store in Virginia and legally purchase a pistol to defend herself. 

It’s time for the gun grabbers to realize they’ve lost the argument on legal grounds and with the general public. The city council is all too happy to blow taxpayer money on the bogus claim that the District suffers from “taxation without representation.” Before the federal city makes the claim that it somehow deserves a pair of Senate seats permanently allied to the Democratic Party, it ought to demonstrate its worth by respecting the entire Bill of Rights, not just the parts it happens to agree with.

The jig is up.  The gun grabbers have been kicked to the curb.  Life will be so much easier once they fully realize that fact.  Guns are here to stay and they can whine about it all they want.  It isn't going to change the fact that the second amendment applies to individuals and is the law of the land.  You want to get rid of guns?  Go for it.  Get to work on the constitutional amendment you'll need to fullfil your dream.  Until then, shut the hell up.
