The Dark Citadel

In a move that was long in coming Senator Ted Stevens, Mr Series of Tubes himself, has been charged with concealing more then $250,000 in kickbacks.  About time Mr Bridge-to-Nowhere gets some of what he is due.

As if you didn’t already know, on June 26, 2008, the Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in Parker v. District of Columbia, 478 F.3d 370 (D.C. Cir. 2007).^[1] The Court of Appeals had struck down provisions of the Firearms Control Regulations Act of 1975 as unconstitutional, and determined that handguns are “Arms” that may not be banned by the District of Columbia (Washington, D.C.), also striking down the portion of the law that requires all firearms including rifles and shotguns be kept “unloaded and disassembled or bound by a trigger lock.” (hat tip Wikipedia).  This decision I think deserves some extra special attention this July 4th.  Have a safe and enjoyable weekend.
