The Supreme Court says it is OK to defend yourself with a handgun

The Supreme Court has struck down the Washington D.C ban on owning a handgun. I can’t imagine why anyone would feel the need to defend themselves with a handgun within the confines of our Nation’s capital.

It’s such a safe place to be, especially late at night.

I of course am being extremely sarcastic. I once took a wrong turn when I left and Washington D.C. Ronald Reagan National airport. I thought I had somehow crossed some kind of temporal wormhole and had come out in a post-apocalyptic alternate Earth. I had to fight off the urge to cry like a little girl until I got back on the George Washington parkway.

It’s not a happy memory.

Personally, I think this is a good decision. The people who shouldn’t own a handgun probably already have one. This merely allows law abiding people to own a gun if they feel the need.
