Federal judge rules DC ban on handguns unconstitutional

As if I didn't already know where this was going, the news is out today that Washington D.C. is no longer open season on concealed carry.

"the Court finds that the District of Columbia's complete ban on the carrying of handguns in public is
unconstitutional"
--Judge Frederick Scullin

This is just another bit of evidence that I am right about the pendulum swinging, ummm, right.  DC is the leftest of the left and it cannot even impose gun control.  HA HA HA HA HA!! 

Way to go, founders of this great nation!   It has been ONLY been through the bill of rights that people have any power of self determination left and it was only via the separation of powers into executive, judicial and legislative branches that the con men have not been able to steal these rights from us, and in so doing, voiding the constitution.   That simple concept of splitting up the power between 3 organizations was an act of enduring genius.  It stops Dear Leader (whoever might be wearing the title in any given year) from enslaving all of us. 

Up yours, gun grabbing liberals!!

The idea of separate powers is swell indeed, but thanks to Aristotle and his fellow Athenians.

Fair enough and I agree that "there is nothing new under the sun except the history you don't know". But there is still genius in the modern and effective application of old genius. If it were not thus, everyone would have what the US has and everyone else certainly does not. As stated many times in my blog what really separates the US from every other country in the world is that our people are individually armed. This is the best and greatest hope for the future of this country which is why the liberal elite are so interested in gun grabbing.

Only I don't see the separation of powers to be particularly applied or even efficiently in these US. Here as in so many other places, the powers may be nominally independent, but in reality they are promiscuously exercised. The one trace so common in this scheme is that it's still one and the same level of government that overlords other levels.

If you want a novel and better check separation of powers, look at Switzerland. Have you ever heard about the president or the prime minister of Switzerland? You haven't because there is neither. The head of state and of government is a council made up if seven people. THIS is check and balances at the top of power.

BTW, every adult Swiss man has an automatic rifle at home and practices at least once a year.
