Thread Name: BS: DC Gun Ban Banned
Subject: RE: BS: DC Gun Ban Banned
The US Constitution has always been interpreted as allowing for "reasonable restrictions" on this issue and many others.

Local and state legislators can never ban guns without being in violation of the US Constitution.

Such laws may stand for a long time because people are unwilling to mount a challenge, but they are still unconstitutional. That is the heart of this Supreme Court decision.
