In July 1976, less than three years after the District of Columbia was granted the right to govern some of its own affairs, its newly elected city council asserted its new powers by passing one of the nation’s most controversial laws on one of its most controversial issues: gun control. And there was a reason the founders placed the capitol in a neutral city that was not part of any state. It was meant to prevent a state or local jurisdiction from exercising arbitrary control over the capitol, federal goverment, and its employees. I think Congress and federal empolyees should be exempted from all the local DC gun control laws.
The only purpose of gun control is to protect the rulers from the ruled. Let's try the obverse, "A well regulated citizenry, being necessary to the security of the rulers, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall be outlawed."
Guns are not for hunting Bambi. They are for keeping the despot at bay. There are millions of would be despots waiting in line for the day guns are outlawed.
