"You could drive a truck through this language," said Peter Nickles,..

Unlike DC that just threw the USSC decision under the bus and backed over it.

Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) plans to introduce a substitute bill that would simply mandate that D.C.'s gun laws conform to a recent Supreme Court ruling that struck down the city's 32-year-old ban on handguns.

So let me get this straight. She wants to pass a law saying that they have to obey the law. Only a Democrat could be that screwed up.

Redundant. That's exactly what the original bill does.

Why don’t the Secret Service, the Capitol police, and the D.C. police set an example and give up THEIR guns first?

What part of “shall not be infringed” don’t these gun-grabbers understand?

Opponents said they feared that if the bill became law, people could carry loaded ... .50-caliber sniper rifles in the city...

GMAFB. How stupid does anyone have to be to fall for this bovine excrement?

Chiefs of the D.C. police, the Capitol Police, the Secret Service and other law enforcement agencies are expected to testify against the bill during a House hearing today.

What part of NO do these a$$hats NOT understand? Who does enforce the decisions of the SC. Can the SC call out the marshals to arrest someone for willful obstruction of justice or anything like that?

We plan to.

Now there's some legislation with some teeth! Legally requiring them to do what they're already legally required to do. This twit is probably the type person who thinks you can make criminals stop carrying by passing a law against it.

Opponents of the legislation said it could have even more far-reaching effects because of what they termed its vague provisions.

"You could drive a truck through this language,"

As long as it has a gunrack in the back window with a full compliment of wepons.
