These officials need to be held personally responsible for denying people their civil rights.

The Supreme Court said that it’s an individual right. What part of “shall not be infringed” do they not understand?

Washington DC Rejects Heller’s Gun Registration Application

Sounds like maybe they were profiling people named “Heller”!

Shrugging off the mindless, baseless attacks of Liberal hyenas and jackals since 2007

”(Proof) You’re, as we say in Hawaii, No Ka Oi!”

Sounds like payback.

spokesman for the DC Police says the gun was a bottom-loading weapon, and according to their interpretation, all bottom-loading guns are outlawed because they are grouped with machine guns. 

By my interpretation I group revolvers and daisies together and my interpretation is just as valid.  How many 11 round, non-bottom loading handguns are available in the world?

This case was a specific one with an actual plaintiff, not some imaginary “group”

These officials need to be held personally responsible for denying people their civil rights.

Exactly.  They should be tried for violating our civil rights.

If voting were this hard the left would be up in arms.

The purpose of government shouldn’t be to do good, but simply to refrain from doing evil.

I read the Heller decision pretty thoroughly, and I don’t recall that Justice Scalia drew a distinction between “bottom-loading” guns and revolvers, or that he mentioned seven round clips versus 11 round clips.

One would hope that Mr. Heller is a young enough man to enjoy a long and robust retirement.  At the rate they’re going, the DC City Council and the Metropolitan Police Department will be the ones funding it.

“Capitalism is optimism monetized.”

I just went back and checked something in District of Columbia v. Heller, and I did indeed recall correctly:

Assuming that Heller is not disqualified from the exercise of Second Amendment rights, the District must permit him to register his handgun and must issue him a license to carry it in the home.¹

I do believe the District of Columbia can now be prosecuted for being in contempt of the Supreme Court of the United States.

All words and no action. Come on! Some one from y’all. Take the bastards to court. Sue them for violating our civil rights.
All that bravado but no action whatsoever. Empty words. That’s all. Just a bunch of whiners.

Does this mean you will be meeting me soon, over grass and before breakfast?

Or are you just talking out your ass, again?

Have you ever heard of the concept of standing.  The city of Washington DC has only violated the rights of their residents.

Since my rights haven’t been violated by Washington DC I have no right to sue.  Pretty simple concept as it turns out.

I suspect Mr. Heller is going to stay busy.  God bless him. 

On the other hand I’ve got plenty of guns.

I say another lawsuit is in order.  This one questioning Washington DC’s ability to define some guns as ok and others as not ok and also one questioning a process that puts undue burden on citizens who are simply trying to exercise one of their inalienable rights.

By the time that gets to the Supreme Court, it only has a chance in heck if McCain wins this election.  An Obama win would guarantee a liberal majority on the court for the next generation.  This is the only reason I need to vote for McCain in November.

I’m with Mr. Graves here.  The District was ordered to give Mr. Heller his gun permit.  They have refused, and thus they are in contempt of court.

Yes, Heller should (and will I’m sure) sue.  However, it’s not just a civil issue for which Heller should be richly compensated out of punitive damages.  It is a criminal issue for which the mayor and the city council (at least those who voted for this absurdity) ought to do some hard time.
