Shoot 'Em While You Got 'Em

Via DCist (motto: "the BigHeadRob of D.C. blogs"), more news on D.C. gun rights:

We've just learned that this morning the Court of Appeals denied the District's request for a new hearing before the full court, effectively pushing the case, Parker vs. District of Columbia, to the Supreme Court. The case, originally presented by six District residents, argued that the city's gun laws, which date back to 1976 and forbid the ownership of handguns, unconstitutionally limited the residents' Second Amendment rights.

Jacob Sullum had the first comment on the overturn of D.C.'s gun ban back in March.
