Gun Rights Group Sues D.C. Again

The group responsible for the suit, the Second Amendment Foundation, was a plaintiff in the case which saw the district’s ban on gun carry declared unconstitutional. It claims that the carry law the city passed in response to the last court ruling is also unconstitutional.

“We did it because, basically, the city isn’t handing out any permits,” said Alan Gottlieb, the group’s founder and executive vice president. He singled out the restrictive may-issue nature of the law, which allows Cathy Lanier, D.C.’s chief of police, to have final say over which applicants get a permit. He called the statute “ridiculous.”

Though the city has issued a handful of permits, the gun rights group does not believe it has complied with the judge’s original ruling or the constitution.

I am shocked that the courts didn't hold the City in contempt.

I hope this one goes somewhere. As it is right now, the Mayor and the Chief don't want to issues permits... but its not their opinion that countsm. Or at least it shouldn't be.
