District Gun Laws[edit source]
This article completely dismisses or contradicts DC gun laws. I think you need to read up a little bit about them and retool the article to make it funny (which it is) and have it make sense. -- 13:21 EST 14 Feb, 2010
- Thank you for saying it's funny. I'm not here to make sense.
- Longer answer: The DC gun laws, and the open question of what will happen to them in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling that didn't just sweep them away but (I think) required the DC government to issue permits, which some important officials are ready to drag their feet on or totally frustrate, is indeed a complicated subject.
- There are actually two other reasons the passage is senseless: (1) the US Constitution restricts the government, not employment contracts; and (2) what to do in cases where the US Constitution is silent is set out in the Tenth Amendment. So the assertion that the NBA could say the US Constitution "requires" them to let Arenas pack heat, in order to fit a fan-friendly weapon theme, is not just ragged. It is totally crap. And I have no problem with that. Spıke ¬ 19:00 14-Feb-10
