"A Victory For Home Rule"

Congress approved the District's 2006 budget yesterday, including more than $100 million in federal aid...But what made city leaders happiest was what didn't make it into the measure: a series of proposals that would have weakened or repealed the city's handgun ban.

And based on results, most District residents couldn't be happier.

My chains are a little loose, boss. I might slip out of them. Could you please tighten my shackles a notch?

Victory is Defeat. Orwell couldn't have written it better.

Oh, and thanks, Republicans. You've all made it clear that bike trails are a bigger priority than unalienable, Constitutionally-protected human rights.

Home rule says no guns. Ok. Disband the Secret Service, Disarm the FBI, Marshall's Service, DEA, INS, local police,capitol police, sheriffs staff. If guns are not allowed, then by God, let's not allow them.
