They are going to keep trying until Obama gets to replace one of the 5 Justices that voted the "wrong" way.

(Guns will also still require trigger locks.)

In other words citizens of DC still have no right to self defense with a handgun.
There are 2 laws that liberals/socialist instituted that almost always get citizens killed.
Protection from Abuse Orders and Trigger Lock laws.

“Guns will also still require trigger locks.”

That part (at the least) clearly runs afoul of Heller.

I thought that the “Trigger Locks” requirement was also struck down. Or am I confused...again.

Weren't trigger locks an important part of the case? I thought I read in one of the majority opinions that to have the right to have a gun but not have the right to have it "unlocked" (my word) is foolish...or something like that.

"District residents will be able to keep a handgun in the home for self-defense but that right would be limited to the home and not outside it"

Still sounds like infringement to me!

So when’s the lawsuit, and will there be a temporary injunction to stop them?

File law suits again..........take em back to court !

But not the district. Take the individuals who wrote , presented and passed this BS to court. The people who do this to other citizens can not hide behind a shield of office when they attempt too circumvent a “proven” constitutional right too keep and bear arms !

Take em down ......recall votes, attacks on their ability too rule or govern anything much less a city, county or state.

Doom on this seditious trash !

Looks like DC is planning to keep this thing in the courts for as long as they can.

So when do U.S. Federal Marshals take Mayor Fenty and the city council members away in leg irons for defying a lawful ruling of the supreme court of the land?

"Gun owners will have to pass vision and written tests"

The requirement for a written test will exclude about 90% of the D.C. population from owning a firearm.

I predict it will stand for a while. The issues of incorporation will take precedence over a Pi$$ing contest with the DC city council.

Residents should be more concerned that today, there is no legal way of BUYING a handgun, since there is no 01 FFL's that are willing to transfer one into the district.

Funny, that one of the arguments DC used to argue against Heller was since they weren't a State, the law didn't apply, but now they will follow Federal law covering States in that one can not buy a handgun outside of one's home State without transferring it through a dealer.

District residents will be able to keep a handgun in the home for self-defense but that right would be limited to the home and not outside it, city leaders said today, announcing new gun regulations in response to the Supreme Court's recent ruling striking down the city's handgun ban.

Gun owners will have to pass vision and written tests, provide a photo with their application to register a gun, and submit their weapon for ballistics testing. Guns will also still require trigger locks.

I think it's time for the President to maybe slap thee idiots down hard. Maybe send Cheney in with his shotgun as President of the Senate to explain the facts of life to these idiots.

Trigger locks? How can they even enforce such a mandate?

Thank God, though I live in one of the most liberal, far-left, socialist states in the country (Vermont) we enjoy one of the most least restrictive CCW policies in the country.

What ta hell good is having a handgun if when there is a need to possibly use it, one must search in the middle of the night, in darkness, for a key to unlock your weapon while under stress, and every second could mean the difference between life and death.

F'n moron, libs, would not know the difference between a handgun and a spitball.

IF some day, one of these moonbats (or family member) is subjected to some horrible incident, then, you will see a major about face about what they now advocate.

You also will only be allowed the right to speak freely inside your own home. And you’ll have to be muzzled when not speaking.

A right to bear arms can no more be restricted to one’s home than a right to worship can be restricted to a church building.

Discrimination against the handicapped.

I am serious. Blind folks should be able to keep and bare arms for protection as will.

I’m thinking this could be fought on the same basis that poll taxes were fought. “unreasonable restriction”

( on the other hand, I would not be surprised to find a $10k tax per gun and $100 tax per bullet to be found Constitutional)

Kaaaaaching! Lawyers will rack up a lot of fees and are already planning an extra house in the Hamptons and double trips to the Bahamas, plus braces for the kids and a new Bentley.
