COMMENTARY: Supreme Court hopefully will strike D.C. gun ban
While most Members of the U.S. House and Senate joined in briefs to the Supreme Court asking it to agree with the appeals court on both findings, the Bush Administration strangely asked the Supreme Court justices to send the decision back to the lower court to reconsider precisely how the D. C. ban should be interpreted. The Bush Justice Department took this disappointing stance because it feared a precedent that might make it more difficult for it and future administrations to enforce the wide range of existing federal gun laws.
