Congress Pursuing Repeal of D.C. Gun Laws: "A fresh move is afoot on Capitol Hill to overturn local gun laws in the nation's capital."

"'Many people live in the district during the week who are members of Congress and they would like to be able to protect themselves in their homes,' said Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, who wrote the District of Columbia Personal Protection Act of 2005. Hutchison said if the measure passes, she will resume her longtime practice of keeping a handgun in her bedroom."

Second Amendment: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
