Supreme Court Strikes Down DC Handgun Ban

In a historic ruling Thursday the Supreme Court voted that the Second Amendment enshrines the constitutional right of an individual to own and keep a loaded handgun at home for purposes of self-defense. The 5-4 decision to overturn the 32-year old ban on handguns in the nation's capital is the court's most significant ruling on the Second Amendment since 1939. We speak with Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D--DC).

"This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!"

-- Adolf Hitler, 1935

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms, disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes." --Cesare Beccaria, quoted by Thomas Jefferson

@RamoneTalarico BECAUSE ONLY TYRANTS AND CRIMINALS FEAR HONEST ARMED CITIZENS!

couldn't finish listening to her, she is unbelievably retarded. how dare her suggest that she or "the government" has the fucking right to regulate having your legally purchased firearm loaded in your home. Or suggesting that by having it loaded it makes you more easily selecting to commit a crime. having said that she clearly is saying that she and the government do not trust anyone of us and we should all be subjects. why would they be so un-trusting of us?

[lovejen01]

she is making no sense, also she did not do her research on the laws already on the books. Include majority crimes committed with a gun, are guns obtained illegally.

[RetSquid]

Can she give one example of gun control law reducing crime?

[RoninHawk]

Perhaps if DC has less murderes living there, the gun control issue would be a moot point. Control your fucking murderers, before mandating control of your citizens' rights.

i hate when people think that the USA is a democracy. is a freaking republic!

this is another idiot democrat gun grabber!

Rarely are lawfully purchased guns used to settle common arguments. Also rarely are they bought just to illegally distribute to teenagers and gangs. Norton is merely a 2nd Amendment hating Marxist who believes the government is or should be supreme over the individual. In other words, she's a Neo-Communist, just like all those in the "Congressional Black Caucus" and those in the Democratic Party.
