Wouldn't it be nice if we could un-invent guns? I have an RSS feed for local SD news and in the last few months there's nothing but "shooting in ...", "man shot at ...", "police shoot woman and child...", etc. Now there was a large fight in Mission Beach that ended with a man shot and killed. Doesn't matter who it was (there's disagreement whether this was a gang member or not), it's just sad that a fight ends in a shooting.
Also in the news is a Supreme Court decision regarding My handguns in DC. DC seems to me to have made a good law. In a city with high crime, handguns are not allowed to be kept. Says nothing about rifles and shotguns, but gun advocates are all up in arms saying they should be able to own anything they want. (I wonder what they would say when terror groups argue that they should be able to make nuclear weapons in their back yards? The NRA would probably fight for them if they could attach a rifle stock to the device. [ya ya, I know this is a slippery argument, but it's fun and it's my blog!])
Here's my question about DC. If DC residents have no representation in our government, how does the judiciary have rights to impose constitutional laws? Doesn't seem right to me. DC should say, "Until our citizens are represented, go to hell Supreme Court!"
