Static sends this article along from the Washington Post.
Mr. Heller, of Heller vs. Washington D.C., is at it again. He’s filed a second suit which claims that the city of Washington, D.C. goes too far in its restrictions against semi-automatic handguns. He futher alleges that the requirement for ownership of a firearm in the home precludes its use for self-defense.
I predicted this would happen in an earlier post. I’m delighted to see it come to fruition.

Until I read your last statement I thought you were opposed. I guess I’ll go get my heavily talc’d letter to the editor out of the mailbox.
No, no. I wish Heller the best of luck. I’d like to see the pompous dictatorial facists in Washington, D.C. get their “requirements” put through the shredder.
Maybe crime would actually DROP there.
At this point the Congress should step in and fulfill its duty to the district. The law allowing home rule in DC specifies that laws in the district must be “consistent with the Constitution of the United States,” and they “reserve the right, at anytime, to exercise constitutional authority as legislature for the District, by enacting legislation for the District on any subject.”
The fact that this is funny to me is sad commentary on how little we expect out of Congress these days.
It seems rather strange to me that the citizens of the district are ruled by a legislature in which they only have partial membership, and ruled by men that are not residents of what they hold legislative power over… somewhat like colonies and Parliament.
Their license plate used to say (does it still?) “Taxation without representation.”
I think it would be better if their license plate said “Government without intelligence.”
Yes, their plates still have that phrase.
