They want to shoot back

They want to shoot back
D.C. citizens taking legal aim at nation’s toughest gun law
They’re suing the District of Columbia, and they’re shootin’ mad. All
five of the plaintiffs in an unusual suit before U.S. District Court
Judge Emmett G. Sullivan say they want to be able to defend
themselves inside their homes against criminals – but can’t because
of the city’s gun laws, which are among the strictest in the nation.
While D.C. gun laws have been progressively tightened, local
criminals rarely lack firepower when they feel they need it, either
to wipe out enemies in the drug business, or to threaten robbery
victims. Despite the laws, the closure rate for homicides (most of
them by gun) remains the biggest failure of D.C. Police Chief Charles
Ramsey’s tenure.
