Instapundit reports that the Cato Institute is having a go at gun control in their nation’s capital city. Makes sense. The media people don’t have to go far for the story, unless they’re scared of course, what with the law not having yet been changed the way it should be.
Reynolds links to Fox News, who make it clear that Cato is really rolling up its sleeves and getting stuck in to the issue.
The CATO Institute, a public policy research group that bases its work on libertarian principles, is crafting a legal challenge to Washington, D.C.’s law, claiming that all Americans have the right to defend themselves.
“The Second Amendment provides an individual right for a person to bare arms, not a collective right, not a right of the states, not a right of the militia, but a right on each and every person,” said Bob Levy, a senior fellow in constitutional studies at CATO.
I don’t think that’s quite what Bob Levy said. Seriously, I never thought I’d see this particular spelling mistake done for real.
Next thing you know, someone will write a story about arming Bears!
And you certainly wouldn’t want to bare your arms in DC this time of year.
Philip Pullman already did that. It’s called “northern lights”.
Ah, the perils of spell check.
MommaBear remembers well a post right here on Samizdata promoting the Arming of Bears; it happened almost a year ago !!
I do not care what laws they pass.”From my cold dead fingers”.All you gun control fools can come to my house anytime,lets see what happens qwhen you try to disarm me.
