A District of Columbia gun-control law struck down by a federal court has won support from the Bush administration.
On Friday, U.S. Solicitor General Paul D. Clement urged the Supreme Court to rule that the Second Amendment right to bear arms is not absolute and is limited and subject to "reasonable regulation" by the government and that all federal restrictions on firearms should be upheld, according to the Los Angeles Times.
"Given the unquestionable threat to public safety that unrestricted private firearm possession would entail, various categories of firearm-related regulation are permitted by the Second Amendment," Clement said in his filing concerning the District's ban on keeping handguns at home for self-defense, which a federal court has ruled violates the Second Amendment.
Our government has failed to secure the nation's borders and tried to bring amnesty to those who have violated its sovereignty. Now, it wants to make sure we are at the complete mercy of the criminals who run amok in our society.
