No, but they might have overplayed their hand here. Heller, among other things, asked for a writ of mandamus. It’s an extraordinary remedy, but a court might find it appropriate here since D.C. has pretty clearly flouted the Supreme Court’s ruling. Such a writ is a command from the court to do something, which, if granted, would essentially allow the court to write the law itself.

I suspect that D.C. is going to wind up with a lot more gun friendly law than it otherwise would have if it would have simply played fair. They might well get smacked around.

The Left never stops.

An absolute truth that a lot of people don't realize. Gun control and a belief in unrestricted government power in general is a religion to garbage like Fenty and Lanier (as well as a lot of other mayors and bureaucrats). They believe in it with a fervor that exceeds al qaeda's belief in destroying the infidel. They are not disuaded by logic or reason. The constitution means nothing to them. They are not moved by concern for the citizens' welfare. They have no mercy for those who would protect their families from criminals. They never stop (as you say). There are only three possible outcomes with people like this.

  1. They win. We surrender to unconstitutional laws and lose all freedom, and become slaves of a tyrannical police state we're a good way along that path already
  2. We resist and their beloved police kill all of those who resist and they win
  3. We resist and kill enough of them and their goons so that freedom is restored
You'll note that none of the above alternatives is particularly desirable, but the third is the least undesirable. But filth like Fenty is forcing this crappy set of alternatives on us.
