Mayor Fenty just said, live on Fox News Channel, that although DC citizens can keep guns in their homes and they will start allowing people to register/license, that "semi-automatic handguns will still be illegal" in DC!

Doesn't that directly contravene this morning's ruling? Is he spitting in the face of SCOTUS already??

It’s OK, he’s a liberal and everyone knows they only have to obey the laws they like...

Does anyone still make single shot pistols?

Muzzle-loaders?

I think “semi-automatic” is a description of every pistol in existence.

I’m sure he has not a clue what “semi-automatic” means.

yest they are spitting in the face of the Supreme. Hoping that there man will win and appoint liberal judges that will reverse the ruling and destroy the Constitution.

Yep. He's inviting a lawsuit. A right means nothing if it cannot be effectively exercised. I don't think DC Thug Fenty still grasps what an individual right means. He will learn it soon enough.

Looks like he’s headed to court again and will have his head handed to him again.

Semi-auto pistols are standard military issue.

Well there is an Automatic Revolver.

Some think it's a nasty brute, I think it's kinda cute.

It’s one thing to SAY SO, it’s another to enforce it- I think the SCOTUS just made that harder to do.

WOO HOO- If Obama had appointed some judges this would have gone the other way

Exactly! That's why I was so incredulous. I can only conclude that (A) this guy is galatically stupid or (B) he's very deranged about the level of power/authority he thinks he possesses!

He’s just picking for a fight.....

A revolver may not be technically a semi-automatic. The force of the shell doesn’t cause the re-load, the pull of the finger does.

Not that Libs should be allowed to split hairs like that.

Revolvers are repeaters but not semi-automatic.

Mmmkay...I can't think of too many handguns that aren't "semi-automatic".

My .357 revolver is "semi-automatic".

What's this bozo talking about?

Assuming semi auto hand guns qualify for 'common use', then Yes.

If I was a cop or a judge or a prosecutor in DC right now, I’d tread very very lightly on doing anything to arrest or convict someone.

They can be individually and collectively sued for violating a persons civil rights.

>>Does anyone still make single shot pistols?

I have a Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 mag that is a “Single Action.” While I can fire six shots in about two seconds, it’s definitely not a semi-automatic weapon.

I’m not surprised to hear this. Fenty’s an ass.
