“IF DC were smart they would have made it easier so they have good records on who has a gun. Now they can languish in ignorance.”

D.C. should languish in ignorance. Requiring one to register guns and thus have the government violate “the right to be secure” in one’s self-defesne “effects” is a clear violation of the 4th Amendment…buth then the government violates our rights (politically) left and right.

DC had a chance to do the right thing. They chose not to in direct violation of a SCOTUS ruling. It is time to USC 242 their asses…

DC residents are not dumb. Why bother, the law will change in 90 days? The ballistic requirement and all the hoops are too much trouble. Those who have guns, the good guys and bad guys, will just keep them in their homes un registered.

There are a lot of decent folks who have handguns for over 30 years in DC. All the elderly may have them since the 1960’s. Others may have been given one or had bought one while a resident in another state.

DC has shown they do not want registered guns and that is what they will get. All those guns in homes will stay unregistered.

IF DC were smart they would have made it easier so they have good records on who has a gun. Now they can languish in ignorance.

I was my understanding that the court said DC “must allow Heller to register his weapon” and the weapon in question was his .45.
