Since No-One Else Seems To Have Picked This One Up Yet...

It turns out that despite the Supreme Court of the United States ordering the District of Columbia to allow Richard Heller, recently of D.C. vs. Heller, to register his handgun, D.C. has decided that they don't actually give a damn about the Supreme Court; they're not going to allow him to register his handgun anyway.

Their excuse this time is that despite the fact that his handgun has a seven-round magazine, it possesses the capacity to accept a 12-round magazine, and as such is not a semi-automatic pistol at all, but a machine gun.

Wait, excuse me, what? Can you guys really be this dumb? EVEN THE LIBERAL judges on the Supreme Court are not going to stand for a municipality simply ignoring their orders; which means that when Richard Heller almost inevitably goes back to court again, he is virtually guaranteed to win; thus once again expanding on the legal discussion surrounding the Second Amendment.

I approve of this, just because D.C.'s just digging their hole ever deeper.
