Watching FNC now. The mayor of D.C. took the mic (on what looked like the steps of SCOTUS) and proclaimed that (paraphrased) "the citizens of the District overwhelmingly support the current (gun prohibitive) laws; we continue to see our crime rate go down."

Meanwhile, FNC contributor judge Andrew Napolitano was prepared with the actual facts, stating that since 1976 (when the current gun D.C. gun laws were passed) the D.C. crime rate has risen every single year but one.

Napolitano also said the case looks very good for our side.

Is that the crack head the DC voters re-elected, or did they finally get rid of him?

It wasn't so many years ago that the citizens of Birmingham overwhelmingly supported segregation and Jim Crow laws. And going back a little more in time, the citizens of Charleston overwhelmingly supported enslaving the Negro race. Were those justified as well Mr. Mayor because that's what the citizens overwhelmingly wanted?

Excellent news, and thanks for the update. I haven't had the free time lately to monitor things as closely as they warrant.
