Norton fails, but so does Rand on this issue.
It ain't just about the local gun laws in the District of Columbia, it's about all of 'em.
The US Constitution says that Congress shall "...exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States..."
It may not be clear to Norton, but those words, if they really mean anything, mean that "local" DC laws are all, each and every one, unconstitutional ab initio, and any competent court should so rule.. |

| Stated like a true liberal, it is clear she has NO understanding of the CONSTITUTION. Would she be so opposed to this if a Democrat had introduced this bill? Unlikely! Someone in Congress needs to stand up for the Constitution as many have forgotten their oath of office to uphold it! |

TO REMEMBER |
| Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
