Gun owners sue D.C., demanding to carry firearms on Metro

that makes it harder for governments to restrict the carrying of pistols outside the home. Writing for the court’s 6-to-3 conservative majority, Justice Clarence Thomas said that to ban concealed handguns in a particular place, “the government must demonstrate that the regulation is consistent with this Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.”

Unlike schools and government offices, for example, the Metro system is “not populated with individuals who would be high-value targets to a terrorist or active killer,” the plaintiffs contend. “They are not landmarks or symbols of our nation which would be inviting to terrorists or active killers. … There is not a tradition or history of prohibitions of carrying firearms on public transportation vehicles. In short, there is no basis to label the Metro as a sensitive area.

“I don’t think anyone at this stage can complain about [barring guns in] schools or government buildings or polling places or around the White House or the vice president’s residence,” Lyon said in an interview.

Who are these gun owners? People from Maryland and Virginia?

Great….

dclinenews What took them so long?

Fuck no, this is a very bad idea.

Really?!! That’s exactly what metro does not need. Imagine the packed platforms after games & a gun goes off. Really!!!

Never!!

I am tired of catering to insecure whiners who need guns to feel like toughies.

That makes me feel way less safe
