Today gun owners in the District of Columbia won a partial victory over the city’s stringent gun registration laws. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit noted that the city has the right to establish a gun registry, but tossed some provisions, specifically re-registration requirements (via the Hill):

So will d.c. file an appeal and get the full panel to rule the "right" way on d.c.'s interpretation of the 2nd. And, even if the full panel upheld the 2-1 decision, does anybody think that the "authorities" in d.c. would comply? Just like most dem run municipalities, they'd simply ignore the rulings and carry on as they choose. Meanwhile, the bad guys will still carry and trade firearms because, they don't care about no steenkin' laws.

If the NRA/GOA and citizens would start bringing RICO charges/suits against these liberals we would quickly see an end to the behavior.

Oh and “Conspiracy to violate civil rights under color of authority.”

[rktman]

Didn’t I just hear something about the “correct thinking” folks working to bring RICO statutes against somebody?

[Norm Lenhart]

No idea. All I know is that every one of these liberals meets the definition of a RICO case to the letter.

When it gets to the Supreme Court, Roberts will “fix” it.

“In a 2-1 decision Friday, a three-member panel of judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit upheld the city’s requirements that force gun owners to register long guns, get fingerprinted, photographed and appear in person when registering a gun, pay a registration fee and complete a firearms safety and training course.”

Would liberals allow...’get fingerprinted, photographed and appear in person when registering a gun,’... if it was to vote? Fees to registering to vote?
