WASHINGTON, July 22 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "America's 80
million law-abiding gun owners will support a developing
congressional effort to thwart politicians in the Nation's
Capital seeking to undermine the Supreme Court decision in the
historic District of Columbia v. Heller case," right to
self-defense advocate John M. Snyder said here today.

"After the Court threw out the D.C. handgun ban as an
unconstitutional violation of the Second Amendment individual
right to keep and bear arms, D.C. officials thumbed their noses
at the Court," continued Snyder, Manager of Telum Associates,
LL.C., and Public Affairs Director of the Citizens Committee for
the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. "They acted recently to continue
the ban on semiautomatic handguns. They told **** Anthony Heller,
who won the case, he still cannot register his .45 caliber Colt
1911 handgun."

Snyder, named "dean of gun lobbyists" by The Washington Post and
The New York Times, noted that, "H.R. 1399, the proposed Second
Amendment Enforcement Act introduced by Reps. Mike Ross (AR) and
Mark Souder (IN), to repeal D.C. provisions at issue in the case,
already has 247 cosponsors -- well over half the membership of
the House of Representatives. H. Res. 1331, by Congressman
Souder, would force early consideration of a modified version of
the bill if activated by the signatures of 218 Representatives on
a discharge petition the Hoosier lawmaker plans to file.

"Since the D.C. government thinks it's superior to the Supreme
Court, Congress ought to tell gun-grabbing D.C. politicians to
take a hike. Souder's move would do the trick. Concerned citizens
around the country can support Souder by urging their own U.S.
Representatives to endorse H. Res. 1331."

The Senate companion measure, S. 1001, by Sen. Kay Bailey
Hutchison of Texas, already has 47 cosponsors, Snyder reported.

"D.C. politicians have treated the Supreme Court with contempt,"
said Snyder. "They have refused to recognize appropriately the
right to self-protection. They have refused to honor freedom of
choice of appropriate arms for self-defense by **** Anthony
Heller and others. Congress must not allow the District to get
away with it. It should move the proposed Second Amendment
Enforcement Act and it should move it soon."

Im not laughing.

This thing has legs.... If we can push to get this thing passed in September, it would be an easy matter to get someone to attach a "National CCW Reciprocity" clause to the bill at the last minute.

Two questions:

1. What can we do to make this happen?

2. If national ccw reciprocity becomes real, then would someone who resides in California that has a non-resident Florida/Utah ccw permit be recognized in California?

Does it strike anyone else as screwed up that it requires an act of congress to get a city to follow a mandate issued by the supreme court?

Of course it's screwed up but it's what those people do...and they do it all the time. They have their own set of rules for themselves and another set of rules for the rest of us.

No kidding, this has the reality of national CCW written all over it. IIRC, a large part of Congress already supports this to get rid of all the interstate squabbles and rules that currently exist.

Why hold back, go for the gold, national "shall issue".

Without national shall issue in place a great many people will be left behind.

Please go lightly on the politicians of DC ... they all went through the DC education system, have difficulty with word problems and cannot read very well. Then there is the issue of communication. They are way too far away from SCOTUS. The mail has yet to arrive.


I agree on the ammendment for national reciprocity .... why not just make it a National Shal Issue CCW based upon the results from the NICS system ...

The answer is NO!

None residence has already reared its ugly head in Colorado, Florida and a few other states..

That was one of the first things that happened when the state went from RED to BLUE in 2006. Non-resident CCWs would probably be the first thing CA, NJ, WI, IL etc would implement.
