As I understand it, the DC Appeals Court overturned the handgun ban. The mayor and lawyers want the gun ban to remain in place
Their petition says, “It is eminently reasonable to permit private ownership of other types of weapons, including shotguns and rifles, but ban the easily concealed and uniquely dangerous modern handgun,”
“Whatever right the Second Amendment guarantees, it does not require the District to stand by while its citizens die.”
Mayor Fenty said, “The only possible outcome of more handguns in the home is more violence.”
What do you think???
