The plaintiff in the Supreme Court case that overturned D.C.'s 32-year-old handgun ban was among the first people to try to register his firearm, but was unsuccessful.

I have nothing to add but:
What a badass, and I wish him the best.
democracy in action.
the democrats don’t like too much democracy.

Eleanor Holmes Norton A total waste. Best of luck to him.
We should all send him a couple of bucks. I’ve met him and spent time with him—he’s a quality guy in my opinion.
It would be nice if he could win but he has no chance in Washington DC.
My son is a federal security officer. He is armed on his job, protecting us, but he cannot carry his own personal weapon in DC to protect himself from the scum that prey on its citizens and visitors when he is off-duty.
This despite him being a decorated Iraqi war veteran, has a concealed carrying permit in Virginia (but not honored for Maryland even if he is working there), and has made arrests of dangerous people who walked the streets of DC.
Anything we can do to get rid of that old ratty red Holmes is a plus for America. The Supreme Court decision was a major victory for decent Americans.
Only Holmes, Mayor Brainless Fenty, the senile Jim Graham, and the criminals are opposed to citizens being allowed to defend themselves.
What is wrong with this picture?
McCain could win millions of votes if he proposed a Federal CC permit, valid in all states and DC.
We already have the right to bear arms recognized in the Constitution’s Bill of Rights;most people in and out of government just refuse to follow the Constitution.
I agree with you, but I also don’t want to try arguing the Constitution with a Chicago cop or judge.
I understand there already IS a Federal Permit but they are impossible to get unless you are a Congresscritter or know Jesse Jackson...
And we would respond that the states cannot infringe on the 2nd Amendment rights of the [Federally]”well regulated militia.”
Best of luck to him.
I’ll vote for whomever says we don’t need any type of permit.
In other words us serfs - the taxpayers - can’t get one.
However methinks that 'Libertarian In DC' is synonymous with 'Snowball In Hell'.
When was the last white candidate elected in DC? Racism? What racism? /s
States don't have rights, only powers. And it would indeed infringe upon their powers, but then again, so does the Second Amendment. Lets go with it instead of some BATFE administered scene, which would be an exercise of a power not granted to the Federal government.
