From the gun-grabbers' point of view, the absolutely worst thing that could happen next is that the case gets appealed to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court upholds the DC Circuit. If that happens, gun control goes out the window on a nationwide basis. This, of course, is exactly what the Plaintiffs want to see happen. The liberals don't want that. So you may see big-time gun grabbers like Diane Feinstein pushing bills to repeal the DC gun ban. The goal is not to grant any freedom to the citizens of DC (they already have it, thanks to the court ruling). What the liberals want is to render the case 'moot' before the Supreme Court could get a chance to rule on it and make it The Law Of The Land. Remember when The Constitution was the law of the land? Well, it still is. But every once in a while the courts have to rap the liberals upside the head to remind them. |
This is one of those weird cases where Things Are Not As They Seem. What was won in the DC Circuit is one of the clearest decisions ever made on this subject, and it unambiguously states that the Constitution says that citizens have an individual right to bear arms, and for the purpose of personal defense. In other words, no nonsense about "restricted to well regulated militias" and no hoo-hah about "only for hunting," etc.
