SCOTUS - District of Columbia v. Heller

The Supreme Court finally pours some sand on the slippery slope argument.

Gun control laws will not lead to the removal of the right to bear arms. Americans have the Constitutional right to bear arms.

You get to keep your guns ! ! ! Are you happy now? Go buy another ... buy a dozen ... fill your house from floor to ceiling with them for all we care!

Now that a precedent has been set by the highest court in the land, can we get back to a reasonable discussion on gun control laws? Perhaps we could even start with enforcement of the ones on the book.

The goal here is not to inconvenience gun owners, but to greatly inconvenience nut jobs, and to make it easier to trace guns and bullets used in crime back to the shooter.

Waiting periods, traceable munitions, national database of felons, closing of gun show loopholes all have merits and drawbacks, but the key is dialog between gun owners and gun control advocates.

Don't care for trigger locks? Fine, but offer a solution that works for you that keeps children from accidentally getting killed by guns in the home.

The Supreme Court has taken away the NRA's biggest argument. The right to bear arms has been affirmed. Now the NRA needs to take the lead in finding ways to reduce gun deaths in this country.
