The interesting thing here is that the DC mayor says that they will
continue to enforce the ban. Nice that they have to respect the laws.

Isn't the Mayor of D.C. the felon who served time for dealing cocaine?
You don't think scum like that respects the law do you?

I tried to explain it to Dave the so-called lawyer but it didn't seem
like he comprehended it at all. Laws, good or bad, are written and
enforced right away. No matter if they are unconstitutional. They are
enforced until such time as they are challenged in court and declared
unconstitutional. To get the D.C. ban struck down for good it's going to
take an appeal all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States of
America. The recent ruling only reversed an earlier ruling on specific
grounds.

Opinion for the Court filed by Senior Circuit Judge
SILBERMAN.

Dissenting opinion filed by Circuit Judge HENDERSON.

SILBERMAN, Senior Circuit Judge: Appellants contest the
district court's dismissal of their complaint alleging that the
District of Columbia's gun control laws violate their Second
Amendment rights. The court held that the Second Amendment
("A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a
free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall
not be infringed") does not bestow any rights on individuals
except, perhaps, when an individual serves in an organized
militia such as today's National Guard. We reverse.

Do you see the slight-of-hand? Silberman reversed the ruling of the
lower court. He did not exactly say the D.C. gun ban was
unconstitutional. He just stated in his opinion that the dismissal of
the original complaint was invalid for the specific reasons given. He
did not state it was invalid for all reasons. So, that does not
necessary make the law itself unconstitutional. That's how they get you.
They write a law that they know full well is unconstitutional. Then when
somebody takes them to court and they lose for a specific reason they
just say there are other good reasons. Then citizens have to start all
over again. State and federal govt. has infinite time and money to
spend. Your money, your time. It's hard to go up against that. That's
the danger of such laws being passed in the first place. That's why I
hate lawyers so much. They are sworn to uphold the law yet they
knowingly write bogus law and then they make a living fighting for and
against. We need to get serious and put every lawyer in jail who writes
bogus law. That would put a stop to it.
