DC Gun banners still at it.

Well, 85% for owning guns. Looks like the high court did the right thing. Now hopefully they will stop DC's mayor from trying to sidestep the law with all these ridiculous stipulations, such as having to have a known immediate threat before you can load your gun in your own home. Maybe the home owners should put signs on the front of their houses with their phone numbers, so the burglars can give them a call before they show up. That way they may have time to get their guns out of the safe or trigger lock, and load them in time to do some good. I'm sure the burglars will have plenty of time to get the lock off and load the homeowners guns after they have killed the homeowners and taken their guns back to their crib.
They (the City leaders in DC) are deliberately trying to circumvent the intent of the supreme court, and it's a damn shame. I hope they get smacked down hard for it.

This is my rifle! This is my gun! My rifle's for

1. "It is silly to say they were authorizing (or denying) the use of modern guns."

2. "All I know is that the world was different then than today, and there are a lot of people trying to read their own words into a decision that was made that had nothing to do with modern weapons."

But you say:

"Rate of fire means how quickly bullets come out of the barrel, and accuracy means hitting what you aim at. It's hard to have a debate when you totally ignore what I say, and then say it as if you thought of it first."

Hmmmmm. Talk about calling the kettle black.
