Federal court strikes down some D.C. gun laws as unconstitutional


A federal appeals court has struck down as unconstitutional parts of Washington, D.C.'s gun laws.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled 2-1 Friday that the city cannot require gun owners to re-register a gun every three years, make a gun available for inspection, or pass a test about firearms laws. The court also struck down a ban on registering more than one pistol per month.

The court upheld other parts of the law, such as requiring gun owners to be fingerprinted and photographed and to complete a safety training course.

The District of Columbia passed the laws after a landmark 2008 Supreme Court decision that struck down a ban on handguns in the District of Columbia.

A federal judge had previously upheld the registration laws.

Interesting how a county clerk gets tossed in the calaboose for being against g@y marriage because she doesn't believe in it, but Chiefs of police and county sheriffs remain free when they deny 2nd Amendment rights because they don't believe in them.

They want to be able to do whatever they want to do, while telling other people what they cannot do.
