New Lawsuit against DC and right to carry

Thanks wpage. [;)]

How refreshing. [:D]
Suing the city for the RIGHT to carry outside their homes, INSTEAD OF trying to pass a law giving citizens "PERMISSION" to carry.

Oh, that's right, the Second Amendment Foundation is behind this, NOT THE NRA.

    Welcome...
    It is gratifying to see free men stand for their right. The framers would have gagged if they had no right to defend their home from common thugs...
    In what repressed regime are folks not allowed to protect home and family from harm.

    Did anyone take note that one of the four plaintiffs is openly gay?

    Good for the Second Amendment Foundation. They are not merely a shill for the Republican right.

    They did the same thing in the suit to strike down Washington State's Seattle's ban on carrying in public areas, chaos. There is much about this group to like.

    I did notice.
    A diverse group indeed.
    My question would be, do they have a female on the list?

    quote:So they went about choosing the plaintiffs for the next D.C. gun case carefully. Black, white, gay, straight, Republican, Democrat, libertarian -- together they represent what Gura calls "everyday Americans," "a diverse group of good people from all corners of our society."

    Good question and this is why I have a lot more respect for most people in this forum.

    Yes sir, you are correct Don...they are also the same organization that helped us locate our attorney and is willing to help us with press releases in our case against the ISP. They are VERY proactive.

    I support the SAF. In fact I have a letter from a few years ago written and signed by the then head of SAF,(Allan Goldberg or some such, if I wanted to tell you a lie, I would just Google it and be sure I had the name correct) regarding a gun rights idea I had.

    A mistake is starting across the road without looking.

    Homicide is telling your neighbor to walk across the road while you block his view of the Mack truck barreling down that road.

    Your urgings to support gun control, or organizations that do so is as contemptible.

    Sadly, even though the NRA was the only organization (that I know of) that worked on this, many here will continue to hate the NRA.

    Mr. Fox.

    I am having difficulty reconciling these two statements. Care to help?
