"Taxation without representation." In D.C., it's on their damn
license plates, yet apparently, representation isn't as important as making sure D.C. citizens don't share the same rights as the rest of the country has to own a
gunDelegate Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) had to choose between getting her constituents voting representation in Congress and denying her constituents' Second Amendment rights. Guess which way the cookie crumbled. Norton is withdrawing the DC Voting Rights Act because of an amendment attached in the Senate requiring District gun control laws to be no stricter than those of the Federal government. The red-in-the-face fuming of the act's supporters is priceless.
Enjoy your gun laws while you
still don't have a vote in Congress, loser.
