King: The argument is whether or not the 2nd amendment is an individual or collective right. The DC handgun ban was overturned by the DC appeals court based on that court's opinion that it is indeed an individual right. If the Supreme's agree, it will effect many existing laws.
Marklart: The Democratic side of the Senate floor reads like a Who's Who of gun control. Those are the folks your moderate buddies have put in DC to enact legislation for us. What the Democrat at large may believe in is meaningless, it what his elected representatives do that matters.
It's a shame that we must choose which part of the Constitution we want to see nibbled away at each time we enter the voting booth, since neither side of the asile seems to have any respect for the limitations on government imposed by that document.
