Legalese in DC v Heller..

The DC Brief is in and they still can't tell the truth.

the majority invalidated D.C. Code § 22-4504(a), which requires a license to carry concealable weapons in the District, seemingly on the theory that it eliminates respondent’s right to use hand-guns for self-defense in his home. However, licensing laws ensure that only law-abiding, competent individuals have access to dangerous weapons...

Nonetheless, the majority concluded that section 22-4504(a) functions as a complete ban on using handguns for self-defense at home because one cannot obtain a license for a handgun.

So they're saying that they feel there are no law-abiding, competent individuals residing in DC. They must have been talking about Congress.

My favorite:

Third, handguns cause accidents

They "Cause" them? Idiots.

These are the "reasonable regulations" that the Brady Campaign supports. If knuckle-draggers like me can pick their brief apart this easily, they're hurting worse than we thought.
