The Hill<\/a> reports that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, while upholding the city’s long gun registration, struck down some of the new laws that the District of Columbia wrote to mitigate the damage done by the Supreme Court to their attempts to take away gun rights of it’s citizens in 2008.<\/p>\n

The court then struck down four requirements that force gun owners to bring the gun they\u2019re registering with them, re-register a firearm every three years and pass a test on D.C. gun laws. The court also did away with a rule that prohibits gun owners from registering more than one pistol within a 30-day period.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe agree with Heller that the District has not offered substantial evidence from which one could draw a reasonable conclusion that the challenged requirements will protect police officers; but we think the District has pointed to substantial evidence that some of the requirements \u2014 but not others \u2014 will promote public safety,\u201d Judge Douglas Ginsburg wrote in the opinion of the court.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The District is proud of it’s gun control record, you know the one that has cost thousands of it’s citizens their lives over the past four decades. As of yesterday, the homicide rate in DC is 40% higher than it was last year, so they’re doing a bang-up job. The homicide closure rate for the Metro Police Department was only 70% last year, so the only justice citizens can find is in gun ownership, if the Nanny State will get out of their way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
