D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty is announcing that the District is going
forward with an appeal to the Supreme Court in the Parker case.
The announcement puts to rest rumors and concerns that DC would
simply make minor adjustments to their oppressive gun restrictions to
feign compliance with the Federal Circuit Court's decision stating that
the Second Amendment refers to an individual right.
The next step in the process is for the Supreme Court to decide
whether they will hear the case or not. If they do not choose to hear
it, the court ruling stands and its decision carries a bit more weight
than it would have had if it had never been appealed to the SCOTUS, but
it would still not be a binding precedent for all federal courts. If
the Supreme Court does choose to hear the case it will be almost
impossible for them to reach a decision without a clear statement of
whether the Second Amendment applies to only state militias such as the
National Guard or whether it is an individual right.
Please spread this news and start writing letters to the editor; the
anti-gunners will be mounting massive media campaigns in attempts to
convince the Court that the American people no longer believe in the
Second Amendment. It is up to us - you and me - to diffuse that
nonsense and make it clear that the majority of Americans recognize the
right to arms as a basic human right.
We will keep you posted as the issue develops and we will present
more in-depth analysis in "The Knox Report" and in the Blogs on our
newly revamped website - www.FirearmsCoalition.org.

Yours for the Second Amendment,

Jeff
