Link: Of Arms and the Law: Government files amicus -- on DC's side!.
Quick read: Gov't says, yes, it's an individual right. BUT we join with DC in asking Court to reverse the DC Circuit, because it applied strict scrutiny to the DC law. It should only have applied an intermediate standard. That is, the legal position of the US is that DC Circuit was wrong, a complete ban on handguns is NOT per se unconstitutional, it all depends on how good a reason DC can prove for it.
Hey, Bub-ya, it's actions like THIS which are turning me away from the Republican party! Stuff like this is why I call myself a Christian Conservative.
It's idiocy like this why the Republican party will not receive one thin PENNY from me until they've proven they've returned to their base and have stopped the big government, nanny state, fiscal irresponsibility, spineless, self-promoting, and power-mongering behavior of the past eight years (I'm being kind).
Piss off, you two-faced, lying bastards! Don't forget: the Second Amendment is a sword that the people will use if the government takes away too many of our God-given rights. Which is, I suppose, why you want to take it away...
[throws hands up in disgust, spits on the Republican party, and stalks away]
