[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 197630, member: 8"] The Supreme Court took more time to hear arguments and asked questions than they normally do. The local TV stations (if you are a conservative and prone to name calling then you would call the press "liberal" and when it comes to being liberal this is about the center of the liberal universe) all agreed that the District of Columbia pistol ban is in trouble. They also all agreed that the Bush administration wimped out and tried to stand on top of the fence. The DC gov't pretty much admitted that they believed they had lost the case. The decision is expected in June. It may be that as enthusiastic as the Supreme Court was that they will rule sooner. Exactly how broadly or narrowly they will rule is not known. They could decide to write a definitive interpretation of the second amendment or they could just say that the DC pistol ban doesn't conform. While it is of no concern to you, but for me I have to wait for the DC Gov't to promulgate new laws before I can actually purchase a pistol. Anyway that is how it was reported by the TV stations and newspapers. [/QUOTE]
