The Supreme Court also decided this week that DC’s handgun ban was stupid. I also support this decision and would go further to state that DC’s law that guns kept in the home must either have a trigger lock or be kept in pieces with the ammo stored apart from the weapon is stupid.

I doubt very seriously if I ever needed to use a gun in my home I would be able to convince the person I feel the need to use it on to stand by and wait while I am putting it together, unlocking the trigger lock, and then getting the bullets and loading the thing. No point in having a gun for protection, if it isn’t going to be instantly effective. Time is never on your side in a crisis.
