A Real Civil Rights Victory in D.C.
I just saw that the District of Columbia's handgun ban has been lifted as a result of a decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
My old colleagues at the NRA's Office of the General Counsel (including Robert Dowlut and Stefan Tahmassebi, who submitted amici briefs in this case) had long been working to make sure that the residents of D.C. had the same Second Amendment rights that those of us who live in free states enjoy in regards to being able to protect ourselves.
Today's victory in Parker v. D.C. is a blessing, indeed, for those that still believe in a free society.
