The DC mayor is a POS....

The burden's on you, but here you go:

"c. Meaning of the Operative Clause. Putting all of these textual elements together, we find that they guarantee the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation."

"There seems to us no doubt, on the basis of both text and history, that the Second Amendment conferred an individual right to keep and bear arms. Of course the right was not unlimited, just as the First Amendment ’s right of free speech was not, see, e.g., United States v. Williams, 553 U. S. ___ (2008). Thus, we do not read the Second Amendment to protect the right of citizens to carry arms for any sort of confrontation, just as we do not read the First Amendment to protect the right of citizens to speak for any purpose."

"In sum, we hold that the District’s ban on handgun possession in the home violates the Second Amendment , as does its prohibition against rendering any lawful firearm in the home operable for the purpose of immediate self-defense. Assuming that Heller is not disqualified from the exercise of Second Amendment rights, the District must permit him to register his handgun and must issue him a license to carry it in the home."

If you can read, Waters, you'll see how wrong you've been.

The decision provides a building block for striking down the new DC law, but it doesn't by its terms foreclose it in any way. The Supreme Court's decision is incredibly liimited: Second Amendment is individual right; can't ban handgun ownership in the home; and have to allow handgun to be "operable for the purpose of immediate self-defense."

I win; you lose. Now put on your floaties and please leave the deep end.
