Childers gets win in House over D.C. guns

WASHINGTON — Rep. Travis Childers notched his first major legislative win Wednesday when the House approved his amendment to reverse a 32-year ban on gun ownership in the nation's capital.
The amendment was approved on a 266-152 vote. It follows a Supreme Court decision declaring the District of Columbia's gun ban - imposed in 1976 - unconstitutional.
Childers' legislation, an amendment to narrower legislation by the District's Democratic delegate in Congress, Eleanor Holmes Norton, would allow sales of a wide range of guns and ammunition. It also would overturn a D.C. law requiring firearms kept in the home be locked up and inoperable and would relax registration requirements.

POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON
A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad
