Loretta Weinberg is making a plea for state's rights to trample citizens civil rights. The point that needs to be driven home is that states don't have rights. Pour through the constitution and you will not find any right that a state has. States have powers, not rights. The article mentions that DC and Chicago don't have any provision for concealed carry by citizens. In 2010 DC had twenty seven times more murders that the larger city of El Paso, TX. Chicago's murder rate was nineteen times higher. Ms. Weinberg cannot explain why this is nor will she try. She would rather her neighbors be murdered than have the opportunity to defend themselves. Harsh? Yes, but true. This is today's Democrat party. Tax, spend, restrict people, ration medicine, and pass gun laws that affect the citizen and not the criminal. Look at Califonia. According to the Brady Campaign they have the most gun laws of any state. So far this year California has passed three more. One against the open carry of an unloaded handgun. Wow, that really will cut down on crime. California has the most gun laws but their murder rate is over 400% higher than the state with the fewest gun restrictions. HR822 only affects states that trample on their citizens. Long live freedom!
