Gotta love the Brady Center to put their own spin on this loss!!
"Despite the perception that the decision was a setback for gun control advocates, Paul Helmke, President of the Brady Center and Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, said in a statement that he was "pleased that the Court reaffirmed its language in District of Columbia v. Heller that the Second Amendment individual right to possess guns in the home for self-defense does not prevent our elected representatives from enacting common-sense gun laws to protect our communities from gun violence."
It is the opinion of this blogger that the Brady Center and other anti-gun advocates version of a "common-sense" gun law is an outright ban.
Please, you're grasping at straws here. Yes, the decision could still allow "reasonable" restrictions (like, no guns for felons, etc). An outright ban is not, by any means, "reasonable". You only have to look at Chicago, with it's current ban and high gun crime. And how come gun crime, which has been increasing in D.C. since their ban, is all of a sudden dropping since the ban was lifted?
