"A federal appeals court has ordered a stay of a judge’s ruling in a challenge to the District’s gun laws.:
"The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia temporarily blocked a decision made last month by U.S. District Judge Frederick J. Scullin Jr. that stopped the District from enforcing a key provision of its gun laws. That provision requires a person to state a 'good reason' for carrying a weapon in order to obtain a permit from police."

| Maybe D.C. needs an applicant that's taken the time to document several months of DCPD response times to 911 calls for violent crimes in progress. A couple of hours of a judge - and better, a jury - listening to them with screened time lines might change some folks' minds. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
