Washington DC's gun ownership laws face a major legal challenge on Tuesday.

Firearms advocates are going to the Supreme Court to try to overturn a 32-year-old law that restricts access to handguns.

If the decision goes their way, it could pave the way for similar cases.

  • history has shown that gun control has lead to the deaths of over 56 million people. ussr 20 million, nazi germany 13 million, turkey 1.5 million armenians, cambodia 1 million, china 20 million, guatemala 100,000 mayan indians killed, uganda 300,000 christians killed. all of these countries established gun control laws before the genocide started. history repeats itself and you can guarentee it wont happen here in the US

    Mexico doesn't have guns in the home yet one of the worlds largest murder rate. So much for your theory.

  • How are we to revolt when guns are illegal in the one place all the corrupt traitors of America are? High powered scopes and subterfuge, that's how. Time for Americans to work for America. Not these scumbag fucks.

  • Did the ban in Washington DC stop crime?

    No, it didn't. The crime rates actually got worse under the ban.

    Besides name one other right in the bill of rights that is given to the state instead of the individual.

  • Primegrime: So, you believe that if an individual owns a firearm, the urge to murder is overwhelming? You shouldn't own a gun, sir.

    "In America, you just look under ur bed and get ur gun then murder someone."

    If that were true, everyone in America would be dead!

  • criminal obtain guns illegally...government bans guns from law abiding citizens...criminals now have larger population to rob...government now has more legitimacy...Government and criminals win...Citizen lose

  • Stupid weak english logic. Gun control laws do nothing to lower the crime rate.

  • in a country with no legal guns if u wanted to shoot someone it would be pretty hard to get hold of a gun but in america u just look under ur bed and get ur gun then murder someone ... how dumb

  • legal guns is the stupidest thing ever "oh yeah lets all have guns in are house" with a gun in ur house ur probably more likely to be shot in ur own home than alot of other places and dont gimme that "protect my family" shit, plenty of other countries dont allow ppl to have guns in thier house and they seem to be doing fine with a lower murder rate :)

  • In the Name of the Profit (S.A.W.) have you ever seen so many guns? America is like an armed camp! Oh my goodness! However it is true that poor people may hunt in America. Perhaps the laws are meant to protect the rights of the rural hunters? In many other countries only the wealthy hunt.

    A wonderful young woman I know tells me that since they have many police in Washington DC there is no need for a gun for personal protection.
