Dare We Close the DC Assassin Loophole?

D.C. Attorney General Peter Nickles said presidential and other motorcades will be exposed to high-powered arms fire if the District’s gun laws are stripped out by Congress. [More]
Because apparently the Heller decision made shooting politicians legal or something. And the only thing that's held the snipers back so far has been the DC gun ban.

Besides, who would be presumptuous enough to think protecting your life is anywhere near as important as protecting the masters' lives?

Common sense > out the window.

I suggest that the DC AG and other gun paranoids give in to their mental illness. Yup, you're right guys, they're out to get you, and they are lurking behind every corner--just....waiting....to ambush. Better to hide in an underground bunker permanently, cringing in fear and covered in perspiration. Then we can put bars on the doors, stick a sign out front that says "sanitarium", and fill the vacant seats with more worthy (and healthy) public servants.

John Allen Muhammed and John Lee Malvo were oddly unrestrained by the DC's unconstitutional, illegal disarmament decrees. But I know where this is going: someone needs a big red "FAILURE" tattoo on his forehead.

The actual reason the Nazis began executing noncompliant gun owners, I believe. They didn't care if a soldier here got whacked, a soldier there.They had many, many more. As long as there were rifles, there was danger to Hitler. Then Adolf went and put a pistol bullet in his own head, skewing the statistics.
