If you missed your once in a lifetime opportunity to Open Carry in DC, it looks like you've missed out.

[The KG9 Kid]

It would be a scream if during that 26-hour period violent crime in DC went down, and then back up after this ruling.

[nathanbedford]

Clearly, the municipal government of Washington DC is afraid of its constituents which, in a civil society is a proper state of affairs, much to be favored over the citizens having fear of their own government.

But this is not a civil society, Washington DC is proportionately a murder capital of America and the society is anything but civil. The city fathers are well aware of the level of gun violence in this town but they persist in blaming the guns instead of their own policies. When socialism fails the "reform" invariably invoked is not real reform but more socialism, or in this case, more statism.

So as Washington DC, like Detroit and so many other American cities descends into a dystopia of statist created misery, the government imposes more restrictions on freedom in order to deal with the symptoms of its own mismanagement.

They are terrified and rightly so.

Pass this name around. Make him famous:

D.C.’s Attorney General Irvin B. Nathan

yet homosexuals find one judge and the law is overturned right away.

Would they have a 90-day stay of a ruling overthrowing censorship of the press? Or a 90-day stay of a ruling stating that something was discriminatory against blacks, or other privileged minorities?

[rangerwife]

I read the order. He granted them the 90 days, but he also noted that DC winning a stay pending appeal on the merits was not likely. However, he is going to give DC an opportunity to file a motion for a stay pending appeal anyways. The plaintiffs (Palmer et al) also get a chance to file a motion as to why a stay pending appeal is a no go.

A 90 day stay on your Constitutional Rights.

“Based on the tyrannical government there...”

The only legitimate government of DC is the Congress, which has the authority (and the responsibility) to legislate for the District “in all cases whatsoever”.

[RetiredArmy]

Dudden bother me. I ain’t going to Sodom on the Potomac.

[Drew68]

DC will now be hustling to come up with some kind of carry law. Based on the tyrannical government there, you can bet it will be as restrictive as they can possibly make it.

This morning on NPR they were lamenting that DC had made their gun laws so restrictive, they were certain to get shot down in court thereby putting at risk the so-called "common sense" (but only slightly less restrictive) gun laws that other cities have put in place.

I say, "Good!"
