“The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule this week on the District’s strict handgun ban. The controversial gun control case is being watched closely by lawyers on both sides. Before a packed courtroom in March, justices heard arguments in the case that could overturn the city’s 1977 handgun ban, which is the strictest in the nation. The city argues that the law is reasonable and that it curbs violent crime that would get worse with legal handguns in homes. Opponents say the law violates the Second Amendment right to defend the home and has had no impact on city violence.” (06/24/08) Link: http://www.nbc4.com/politics/16689571/detail.html Filed under: 2AM News and RRND News | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
