| A DC Federal Court Just Ruled Carrying Guns In Public Is A "Core" Second Amendment Right |
| 2017-07-25 |
| h/t Instapundit A federal appeals court on Tuesday struck down Washington, DC's latest attempt to limit residents' right to carry guns in public. The US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit held in a 2‐1 decision that public carrying of firearms is a "core" Second Amendment right, and that the District's regulations amounted to a "total ban" on exercising that right. The ruling breaks with several federal appeals courts that upheld similar regulations in other states. |

| #3 You want to cut this down. Charge the pols who passed the measure with conspiracy to violate civil rights. |
