AWESOME!!!

Will this now go to the SCOTUS? I gotta say, I love our chances. I just hope Kennedy doesn't look to the UN or other foreign governments for guidance!

Its more than ground-breaking. Its mean EVERY gun control law that inhibits or prevents people from exercising their right of self-defense is on its face, unconstitutional. Every gun control law would have to meet the same kind of standard that laws affecting freedom of speech must and under such a standard very few of the 30,000 laws on the books could pass constitutional muster. So if a total ban on handguns is unconstitutional, I think even less restrictive laws fail that test if they in any way impair an individual's fundamental right to self-defense. So the U.S Supreme Court may finally have to adress just how broad the scope of the Second Amendment is and my view its very broad with respect to that individual right it enshrines - not just for the residents of DC but for ALL Americans.

Hope it stands up on appeal. Given the history of that circuit, it probably will not.

If this is indeed true, I think this belongs in the Breaking News sidebar.

First story I saw today. Huge news. For those of use who have been arguing all along that ALL of the Bill of Rights refers to individual rights it's a vindication. They must be hanging black crepe in the Brady Bunker.

A question that needs to be asked and answered is, by the terms of the Second Amendment an individual has the right to bear arms. Then why does a person need a conceal carry permit to be able to carry a weapon concealed?

"To summarize, we conclude that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms."

Whoa!!! This is going to put some panties in a wad! I can't wait to see how the lefties, MSM and government gun-grabbers spin this one. Perhaps they'll have the judges picked up for psychiatric evaluation.

Alright! As a native Washingtonian and as someone whose sister was held up at gun point in a 'nice' area of DC, I'm happy to hear this.
