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??

The Mateba Autorevolver.
Send in the National Guard. If we can use it to protect civil rights, we can use it to protect Constitutional Rights. Way past time for a smackdown of these socialist, America-hating, Constitution-hating b***ards anyway.
Pretty much true.

Yes, just like all clueless libs believe that "Assault Rifles" are all fully automatic.
Most of these far-left moonbats--having never lowered their dignity by deigning to have served in the military /s--have probably never even held a weapon of any kind in their lilly, socialist, hands and would not know a semi-automatic from a muzzle loader.
As a software engineer I can relate!
The Constitution secures the right of the people to keep and bear arms. No doubt, a citizen who keeps a gun or pistol under judicious precautions, practices in safe places the use of it, and in due time teaches his sons to do the same, exercises his individual right.
Now, my semi-automatic handguns (two 9mm's and two .45 cal.'s) are pistols, aren't they?
Let Mayor Fenty know your thoughts on the matter.

The majority opinion consistently discusses handguns, and does not specify revolvers, pistols or anything else. I think a semi-automatic handgun is still a “handgun”, isn’t it?
A Thompson Center.
Registration, complex forms, fees, taxes, bogus discriminators, really tight inspections and reviews where any “t” that isn't crossed will get the paperwork kicked back, extra special restrictions when transporting the weapons storing them etc. etc etc. You get the picture.
BTW & FYI, there are a number of fine DAO (Double Action Only) pistols available. They act exactly like a DAO revolver (the trigger must be "pulled through" to cock and fire the piece -- for every shot).
“...of course, his predecessor thought cocaine and hookers were legal, too....”
Nice!
F**k you Fenty! The SCOTUS has spoken and you are now political worm food.
You have just defined the problem. When you, any other laymen and/or politician attempts to define esoteric technical matters of which they have insufficient knowledge, all sorts of abominations result.
A semi-automatic (Self-Loading) firearm is well defined in relavent literature (and revolvers are not included in that description, notwithstanding the unique, century old automatic-revolver discussed on this thread).
Our military coined the description "Assault Rifle" a half century ago. It has a specific size, function and ammunition, very unlike the bastardization concocted by various politicians that also includes handguns, shotguns and whatever else looks bad.
Your statement that "Just about any handgun is semi-automatic..." is absurd and displays a serious lack of firearm knowledge.
Yes, he just peed on the Supreme Court.
Fenty is not heading down the right road here. The USSC almost never finds anyone in contempt, but he’s angling to get himself in the Federal clink for a decade or so while the black robes get around to hearing his contempt case.
