Supreme Court Case Gets More Support From Congress

Dick Cheney has joined a majority of Congress in a "friend of the Court" brief to be filed with the Supreme Court....to further support the proposition that the Second Amendment is being violated by the D.C. gun ban.

As it becomes clearer each day that at least politically, D.C.'s gun ban is on the way out...we may not know for several more months how large a victory will be achieved.

While it is likley that an individual's right to own a firearm will be uplheld, the power of government to regulate the sale and possession of firearms may also be sustained.

We can only hope that Dracarion laws, like those in D.C., New York City and Chicago will be undone and a clear message sent to the anti-self-protection crowd.

As for the current moment in Presidential politics....at least John McCain had the good sense to re-afirm his support for the Second Amendment in front of CPAC.

Their will be only one choice for gun owner's in November....and sitting out the election is not one of them.
