Heller Links
The most important bit: The Heller decision is not the call of victory, but a call to battle.
Heh: DC ban struck down; bloggers run out of clever Heller headlines
My sources say Fenty is already laying down the law:
Semi-autos still banned (well, DC law classifies them as MGs)
No guns outside of home
Update: here:
Mayor Fenty has directed the Police Department to begin an orderly process for licensing handguns to citizens for home defense. Before you may lawfully possess a firearm, handgun or not, it must be licensed.
There must be a process within 21 days to register new handguns. During that time, the old law remains in effect. You MAY NOT POSSESS A HANDGUN INSIDE YOUR HOME at this time.
The City Council will be working with the Mayor to create effective regulations for storing firearms in your home.
I’d leave off that last bit. It’s what got you into trouble in the first place.

It’s going to be VERY interesting…because with the Heller decision in place, the courts are likely to take a very dim view of a lot of DC’s stunts.
They are being sore losers, and the courts don’t take kindly to that sort of thing.

“The Heller decision is not the call of victory, but a call to battle.
I just made this very point over at QandO.
“Try it like this: we are long past the point in this country where politics is war by other means.”
The more I think about this thing, the more I think there is nothing good in it.
