    The mayor of the nation's capital says he's "deeply disappointed" and "outraged" by an appeals court decision today striking down a long-standing Washington, D-C law against owning handguns. The court rejected the city's argument that the Second Amendment right to bear arms applies only to militias. Mayor Adrian Fenty says the decision "flies in the face of laws that have helped decrease gun violence" in the city. He says the city will appeal -- and that in the meantime, the law will be enforced. The handgun ban went into effect in 1976.
