Incredible arrogance!

Hit em with another suit.

Can’t they be held in contempt of court for considering this type of legislation?

If Congress was in Republican hands, perhaps their budget could be held up by Congress for not complying with the Supreme Court ruling, perhaps. That would never happen with Dems. in charge.

Point is, there must be some way to get compliance with Supreme Court orders.

If they were honest, they'd just say that they don't trust Negroes with guns.

Or get your a$$ in the slammer for contempt of court!

I guess the only solution would be to buy the biggest, heaviest handgun available. At least you would have a heavy steel frame to throw at the burglars because you sure wouldn’t have time to assemble and load it.

It's a delaying action - there is no way that this can hold up in the light of the ruling.

The next step should be for some crime victims in Washington DC to sue the city in civil court for violating their civil rights under the Second Amendment.

Perhaps a fat award would give them some religion.

[RexBeach]

No, it’s ignorance. The DC Government could screw up a two car funeral...and has!

Well, perhaps DC residents can fling bullets at home invaders?

The DC City Council is loaded with retards.

Until they start to go door to door..and search house to house...I don't know how gun-locks can be enforced.

D.C. interim Attorney General Peter J. Nickles acknowledged that officials expected strong reactions to the emergency legislation, which will be in effect for only 90 days.

Their confidence that it will stand up in court is only matched by their sheer arrogance.

Rope....it's the only way to be sure. What movie was that? Nevermind.

This is a law breaking action by DC and will never make it to the USSC...they have already ruled on it and the first court it appears in will toss it. In fact, Justice Dept. lawers should be drawing up indictments against any city or State official that declares their intention to break the law as set down by the USSC and the Constitution.

Keep your gun right by the front door loaded and ready and let them say you can't. The SCOTUS says you can. DC loses that fight. Anyway, I don't think that there is a cop in the world that would arrest you for having a "non-locked" weapon in your home. Just ludicrous.

There is a Freeper on this board has a tagline that says: "I keep a gun in my nightstand because a cop won't fit." I couldn't agree more.

Where is the ACLU????

Thank God for the 2nd Amendment.

...um, BTW folks, the rest of the Parker plantiffs still have a cross-appeal in stasis before SCOTUS. If DC spins this current stunt as "Mr. Heller doesn't have standing because he hasn't actually applied for registration (because his M1911 will be promptly confiscated & destroyed, and his application not even valid for a formal rejection)", that means (A) DC gets slammed for crossing SCOTUS on the "you shall grant him the desired license", and - BONUS! - (B) the rest of the Parker plaintiffs could be brought in because Mr. Heller managed to achieve standing without filing a registration because he DC has obfuscated the process enough that he can't, despite having a SCOTUS verdict in his favor! Chew on that one for a while, and make sure Gura et al are considering it...
