If this holds up, I see a crime-surge in Maryland's future.

I read it twice, I couldn't believe it!

A landmark decision, indeed!

Better late than never, I always say!

This might be the biggest strike FOR real freedom I've seen from the courts in quite some time.

And repeal women's suffrage, much to the dissenting justice's chagrin...

"But her other main point is that the majority's assertion to the contrary constitutes nothing more than dicta because the Second Amendment's protections, whatever they entail, do not extend to the District of Columbia, because it is not a State."

This is a Federal judge? Another collectivist idiot.

This isn't a "states rights" issue it's an INDIVIDUAL rights issue. And last time I checked, DC is in the USA.

Silbermann - Reagan
Henderson - Bush 41
Griffith - Bush 43

We need to get Keisler up there and continue court reform.

This thread really deserves to be on 'Breaking News'.

It's got more gravitas than the average thread.

I think Rudy has a unique political opportunity to say he respects the ruling.

There are actually justices who believe this?

Thank heaven!

No, this is the second case concluding that the Second Amendment grants individual rights. The other came from Texas, and the Supreme Court declined to review that, the Emerson case, against a contrary decision from, IIRC, the ever-popular Ninth Circuit.

At some point, the SC will have to take one of these cases, and answer the very question posed in this case.

wow! DC gun owners can now "come out of the shadows".

I should start taking bets whether the full circuit will let this go.

But the wording alone - I'm truly amazed!
