Judge Henderson's dissenting opinion makes clear that she would conclude that the Second Amendment does not bestow an individual right based on what she considers to be binding U.S. Supreme Court precedent requiring that result. But her other main point is that the majority's assertion to the contrary constitutes nothing more than dicta because the Second Amendment's protections, whatever they entail, do not extend to the District of Columbia, because it is not a State.

the Second Amendment's protections, whatever they entail, do not extend to the District of Columbia, because it is not a State.

interesting decision

taken to it's logical conclusion, women and blacks shouldnt vote, Beltway newspapers could be silenced and and malcontent protesters could be locked up for thier entire lives

[oceanview]

ask Ted Olson, he'd be picking the judges in that administration.

She is a reagan appointee orignally. If I remember correctly, both of those presidents had democratic senate & house. It did constrain them.

Giuliani could welcome the excuse of a democratic congress.

Lets do a survey of DC and I bet you would find out this:

90% of people that have a gun, shouldn't.
and 90% of people that don't have a gun, are robbed.
