Heller not for Misdemeanants


Today's Supreme Court decision in U.S. v. Hayes has Doug Berman baffled.

In short, the Supreme Court upheld a federal law that makes possession of a gun illegal for those who have been convicted of a misdemeanor charge of domestic violence.

As the case largely turned on the definition of a domestic relationship, it is odd that a gun case would not even mention the recently-recognized Second Amendment right of individuals to possess firearms.

Meanwhile, if you are a resident of Woodley Park or environs, watch out for Grar, who has been taking his new Second Amendment rights very seriously. He is, after all, a giant maverick panda.

Where in the world do you find all the fabulous Panda pictures?
 
Grar says NO to domestic violence, therefore, Grar may possess firearms (including flame throwers).
Watch out...

To those in possession of Panda brand TP - beware... I heard a story yesterday about a paper production facility trying to make 'paper' out of Panda poo. They didn't indicate what 'type' of paper.
 
I just read part of the opinion . . . obviously Ginsburg was an English major. Wow. No one ever picks apart the influence of each word like that anymore . . . no wonder my friends who got denied from the English PHD program went to law school. I love it, a place where the relationship between words and phrases, and punctuation, really matters.

Yes, this Woodley Park resident is always wary of Grar and his cronies, since the Supreme Ct (effectively) allowed DC residents to have guns . . .
