Reply #4: A quick skim reveals multiple levels of BS:

[TPaine7]

Rep. Mark Souder (R-Ind.) is pushing a measure that seeks to usurp efforts by Mayor Adrian M. Fenty and the D.C. Council...

BS:

The United States Congress has supreme authority over Washington, D.C. . . .;

Congress, having supreme authority over the District, cannot possibly usurp its authority. That would be like the President (Commander-in-Chief) usurping the authority of a drill sergeant.

It matters not a whit to Mr. Souder or the NRA that District residents have a right of self-governance.

No political subdivision of the United States is entitled to self-governance in defiance of the Constitution. Furthermore, Congress is empowered by the Fourteenth Amendment to protect the Second Amendment rights of State's citizens, over whom they do not enjoy total governmental authority. How can they possibly not enjoy that power over a District they explicitly rule?!

What makes sense for Fort Wayne, Ind., doesn't necessarily translate to the streets of Washington, D.C.

BS. Streets are not at issue; the ruling did not address the right to bear arms outside the home.

It's just not any of Congress's business.

See above. The editorial board needs to confine themselves to subjects they understand--or consider honesty.
