Norton fails, but so does Rand on this issue.
It ain't just about the local gun laws in the District of Columbia, it's about all of 'em.
The US Constitution says that Congress shall "...exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States..."
It may not be clear to Norton, but those words, if they really mean anything, mean that "local" DC laws are all, each and every one, unconstitutional ab initio, and any competent court should so rule.. |

| Stated like a true liberal, it is clear she has NO understanding of the CONSTITUTION. Would she be so opposed to this if a Democrat had introduced this bill? Unlikely! Someone in Congress needs to stand up for the Constitution as many have forgotten their oath of office to uphold it! |

TO REMEMBER |
| The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so. Indeed I would go so far as to say that the underdog is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order. — Adolf Hitler, April 11, 1942. (Source: "Hitler's Table-Talk at the Fuehrer's Headquarters 1941-1942", Dr. Henry Picker, ed. (Athenaeum Verlag, Bonn, 1951).) |
