So flipping through todays USA Today that the U.S. Supreme Court is scheduled to hear an appeal dealing with gun control on 3/18. Which has to be of interest to the various gun-toting Lib. types on my friends list...
Most relevant bits of info seem to be:
2001 - AG Ashcroft declares the 2nd Amendment protects individual's right to bear arms.
2007 - Federal court strikes down a Washington, D.C. ban on handguns and declares that the 2nd Amendment "protects an individual right to keep and bear arms...for such activies as hunting and self-defense."
3/18/2008 - Supreme Court is scheduled to hear D.C. officials appeal of the federal court ruling...
