Gun owners will have to pass vision and written tests, provide a photo with their application to register a gun, and submit their weapon for ballistics testing. Guns will also still require trigger locks. This will get knocked down to much less. The beauty of the SC decision is that it put the burden of proof on the City rather than the plantiff. That Trigger lock will be the first to go.

Figures. Instead of living with the Second Amendment, they attempt yet another way to infringe upon it.

What Don't They Understand?? OP FOR BLOG By Lt Col P The DC Council just doesn't get it. What don't they understand about the Heller decision? Vision tests, written tests, ballistics tests, trigger locks, purchase limits. You know what they sound like to me? Literacy tests; grandfather clauses; poll taxes-- The artful dodgings of petty tyrants who can't bear the thought of citizens enjoying life and liberty, seeing no need to beg the state for protection and sell their rights for empty promises. Remember-- this is the city government that set up Baghdad-like checkpoints to examine anyone entering a certain neighborhood. I say this: If you can vote and serve on a jury, you can own a gun. End of story. The limits on gun ownership should be these: age of majority, justly determined mental incompetence, and evidence of a criminal record. Keep your powder dry, DC residents. Don't take this shit lying down. Right and justice are on your side.
