Washington, DC City Government: 2nd Amendment was for British Invasion

You've gotta love this one. To get a gun carry permit in DC, well you can't--but don't worry. The clerk at the city's gun carry permit office assures you that the 2nd Amendment was only intended for when the British were coming.

    Dunce... setting aside the fact that the Revolutionary war was over and won (1783) before the Bill of Rights (1791) was ratified, this is just appalling. How is it that law suits can be brought against people who deny someone their civil rights unless it is the government, even after the SCOTUS has weighed in?

    I wonder if the chief would approve a muzzle-loaded pistol? Keeping with the 1812 BritRaid motif of course:-)

    He doesn't just think it's outdated, he thinks it was to help prevent a British invasion. He appears to be in his late 30's, early 40's and doesn't seem to have any idea of the what and why of the Constitution and isn't just a city employee. He is a bureaucrat in the Capital of the United States.

    But listen to Bruder explain that the ignorance and stupidity of the American voter was what the Administration relied on to get Obamacare passed. This guy is a perfect example.

    I'm sure he's a nice, well-meaning man (whatever that means), but he just participated in denying the young lady her natural and individual right in defiance of the Constitution, re-affirmed just a couple of months prior by a Federal Court and once by the Supreme Court. Apparently DC and it's employees don't think the Constitution applies to them.

    If he thinks part of the constitution is outdated, he should call for an ammendment. Until they go through that process we have to respect the Constitution. It was written not for obvious decisions but for times when well-meaning officials think some basic right doesn't apply to a modern situation.

    Unbelievable but I believe it. I still have a hard time understanding how crap like this can happen in America.

    Unless you're a politically connected senator... who has one of the 2 issued in San Francisco... Because there are rules for the elite ruling class, and rules for the rest of us...

    Don't forget which class we belong to. They don't.
