"Legal analysts and advocates from both sides of the gun debate say the court's decision to overturn the District's handgun ban will have little impact nationwide, regardless of the outcome of a possible Supreme Court battle." ...
"'The fallout beyond Washington wouldn't be that great,' said Matt Bennett, spokesman for Americans for Gun Safety ..."
"'The court was clear in stating that most other gun laws would be appropriate,' he said. 'In those cities you'd be going from an outright ban to a pretty high bar for getting licenses.'" ... -------
Submitter's Note: STAUB v. CITY OF BAXLEY, 355 U.S. 313 (1958) "...an ordinance which ... makes the peaceful enjoyment of freedoms which the Constitution guarantees contingent upon the uncontrolled will of an official ... is an unconstitutional censorship or prior restraint upon the enjoyment of those freedoms." |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
