Washington D.C. Gun Ban Overturned by Supreme Court

Ground Report Region: District of Columbia

The Supreme Court overturned a 32 year-old law banning the sale of guns in Washington D.C. today. In a 5-4 decision, the Courts ruled that a complete ban on the sale of guns, which had been the law in the District of Columbia since 1976, infringes upon Second Ammendment rights.

Repeal the Second Amendment

Paul Sterne Region: New York

Dobbs Ferry, New York We had another bloody week in America, filled with senseless gun violence.  It is time for local government to stand up and say, "enough is enough".  The Federal Government has clearly been co-opted by gun interests.  The military does not dare challenge its gun-toting veterans, though it clearly understands the risk of guns in the hands of traumized and well-trained killers..  The Supreme Court is just about to re-write history ... more
