But not in the D.C. case, which the N.R.A. would have nothing to do with. Actually, the NRA went out of their way to torpedo the Parker vs. D.C. case, as can be seen by reviewing the documents here: http://www.gurapossessky.com/parker_pleadings.htm

Maybe, the NRA was trying to keep the question from reaching the Supremes to avoid the risk of th court blessing similar registration schemes being declared Constitutional.
They went this route instead:
Disarmed residents of the nation's capital, which is also the nation's murder capital, seem to have attracted a powerful ally in Sen. Orrin Hatch, Utah Republican. The D.C. Personal Protection Act, introduced by Mr. Hatch on July 15, would repeal the District's 27-year ban on handguns and lift prohibitions on carrying weapons in homes and businesses.
A DC law repeal would keep the Supremes from effectively extinguising the 2a as we know it.
They could be over thinking that however, but the stakes are indeed very high.

A worthless House rule they know won't go anywhere but they can point to it for the base. How often has Hillary or Obama brought it up, as opposed to Bill's first run and the passage of Brady. I didn't say they weren't for it, they just realize it's a loser.

Does this decision have any bearing on the ridiculous "Assault Weapons Ban" that New Jersey has in place? It is similar to the one in "Kaliforniah."
We all know these are not really "Assault Weapons" - they are semi-automatics that the gun grabbers went after first because they looked scary. All other weapons are right behind these.

Yes, but if the city appeals that, they risk a broader ruling affecting all states and municipalities. Right now, it seems that it's more or less a "localized loss" for them. I think the Brady-types would rather have these things fought out in a lot of courts over a long period of time rather than having one far-reaching federal court ruling. Just my thoughts...

BANG! Unexpectedly good news based on the Second Amendment and the unconstitutionality of ex post facto laws on your first post. That's pretty good for a first post, Revtwo. Welcome to FreeRepublic.com, even if I'm not the first to recognize it.

More than likely, they just want to be able to carry a gun themselves. I was on a jury one time and after the trial the judge came in and talked to me because I was the foreman. I told him I was concerned that the punks friends would come after me and he told me that he had a gun under the seat of his car for just those instances.

Not symbolic - symbiotic.
The other ruling only applied in DC. This one only applies in NJ.

"... I was on a jury one time and after the trial the judge came in and talked to me because I was the foreman. I told him I was concerned that the punks friends would come after me and he told me that he had a gun under the seat of his car for just those instances." I would have asked the judge for a court order right then and there to authorize me for a CC permit that I could take to the sheriff of my county.
