Scullin institutes stay in DC gun ruling"},"content":{"rendered":"

Whoops, DC almost had a little freedom there for a moment, until U.S. District Judge Frederick J. Scullin at the request of the city attorney, instituted a 90-stay of execution to his ruling that DC’s gun ban laws were in contradiction to the Second Amendment. From the Washington Post<\/a>;<\/p>\n

D.C. Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier and city government officials asked for a temporary reprieve on Monday because they said the ruling left many unanswered questions and had led to safety concerns. Lanier told officers in a memo on Monday night that they could no longer stop someone simply for transporting a gun in public.<\/p>\n

D.C.\u2019s Attorney General Irvin B. Nathan requested a stay pending appeal or to give elected officials time to revise the city\u2019s gun laws. City lawyers said in a court filing that the lead attorney for the plaintiffs, Alan Gura, did not object to an immediate 90-day delay as long as the D.C. Council was working to enact new legislation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Led to safety concerns”? What concerns? That law abiding gun owners were wandering around with their weapons on the streets of the nation’s capitol? Oh, heavens!!! More worrying, I’m sure, was the fact that the DC government hadn’t been able to make a dime from sudden expression of freedom that was running around loose. I know our buddy, Emily Miller, took to Facebook on Monday to tell the world she was carrying on the streets of DC.<\/p>\n

Police chief Cathy Lanier was clear with her officers on Monday that they couldn’t bother any DC or out-of-state residents who weren’t felons if they carried a gun. That doesn’t sound concerning to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
