“In limiting its opinion to the matter of self-defense, and in saying the right is not absolute, the United States Supreme Court decision today is an explicit statement of support for cities all across America who are creating reasonable measures to limit the ability of those who will do harm, who will maim, who will buy, carry weapons illegally,” Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter said.

Apparently there was some Supreme Court dicta about a “collective right”, which the current court “reinterpreted”. DC’s law became a “victim of that reinterpretation.” “It is too early to know how much of a constitutional straitjacket the new rule will create.”

If there was any doubt about the alliances and biases of the ACLU — the group that’s been willing to defend and employ pedophiles — let’s get rid of them here and now.
