Why The D.C. Gun Ban Might Backfire

(CNSNews.com) - Attempts by "well-meaning members of Congress" to repeal the 1976 Washington, D.C., gun ban could backfire by keeping the case out of the U.S. Supreme Court, said attorneys representing six D.C. residents in a high-profile Second Amendment case.

Second Amendment supporters have waited many years for the right case to bring before the U.S. Supreme Court. Their goal is for the highest court in the land to interpret the Second Amendment in a way that reinforces the constitutional right of individuals to own guns.

... when the initial news came out, "D.C. Gun Ban Revoked", jubilation rang out from multiple directions. The problem is; this momentous decision must come from the Supreme Court, not a lower court.
