May 2016

Attorneys for the D.C. government sought a stay to “preserve the status quo” while the courts grapple with a precedent-setting question of whether the right to bear arms extends outside the home...

To argue that the right to keep and bear arms only exists in the home, is to argue that the federal government only has to follow its own rules (shall not be infringed) when its in your own house.

Utterly ridiculous.
