At the time of this writing (3:10pm) only one of all the major Gun Control players had anything to say about the ruling striking down the ban on carrying guns in the District of Columbia being CSGV the only exception with 18 words:
Brady Campaign, Moms Demand, Everytown, Violence Policy Center, etc. none have commented or even acknowledged the ruling and the subsequent decision by Washington PD of not arresting anybody who is legally able to carry in DC.
Although most of them do Office Hours Activism, (Mon-Fri. 9-5) they have been known to actually step out of their comfort zone (and recliners) if the new were good enough to exploit and gather money. My guess is that finding out that finding out that the last bastion of pure Gun Control was breached by the Barbarians has them shocked beyond words. I also bet the phones are burning between calls and text messages from and to their political mascots trying to figure out an angle to counter this cataclysm.
We know it is not the final word, not by a long measure, but it is fun to smell the fear. The opposition has been strident and downright abusive in its rhetoric before this, get ready to see the volume go to eleven after this.
And smile…
Been smiling since Saturday.
I for one welcome a DC CCW. Let the Fed Govt set a standard for CCW permits. The very second that a Fed may issue CCW becomes available, it will open the floodgates for a 50 state nation wide CCW permit.
After IL passed CCW, they promised blood in the streets and wild west shootouts.
And it is happening, in the place w/ the most gun free zones and by mostly prohibited persons iow Chicago.
Update: The Brady’s put out an email begging for money and crowing about a lawsuit that got re-instated two years ago in NY.

I still will not visit because my pistol holds 18 rounds. 17 in the mag and one in the pipe.
