Washington, DC gun ban found unconstitutional. From Foxnews.com:

A federal appeals court on Friday overturned the District of Columbia's longstanding handgun ban, issuing a decision that will allow the city's citizens to have working firearms in their homes.

In the ruling, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia rejected city officials' arguments that the Second Amendment right to bear arms only applied to state militias.

In a 2-1 decision, the judges held that the activities protected by the Second Amendment "are not limited to militia service, nor is an individual's enjoyment of the right contingent upon his or her continued intermittent enrollment in the militia."

For those in for a little light reading, here's the actual decision, including the dissenting opinion.

For those that are unaware, DC has some of the most restrictive gun laws on the books. Since taking effect some 30 years ago, the violent crime rate went up by 134%.

Broken record time: the only ones that obey the gun laws are the law abiding citizens. Criminals could care less.
