It would be gratifying to see the Committee say...
"We regret that Congress hasn't been following the Constitution with regards to the District of Columbia. We have been reminded that Congress is supposed to exercise '...exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever...' within the district pursuant to Article 1, Section 8.
Therefore, we are proposing a Bill to void all District laws, and all City Ordinances, and return that exclusive legislative authority to Congress, adopt the criminal code and traffic laws from the State of Maryland, and set up a Committee to review and promulgate appropriate legislation as mandated by the Constitution, thereby fulfilling this one, at least, of our responsibilities" |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
