I gotta quote, again, Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence; from the Washington Post:

The 2-1 decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in Parker v. District of Columbia striking down the District of Columbia's handgun law is judicial activism at its worst. By disregarding nearly seventy years of U.S. Supreme Court precedent, two Federal judges have negated the democratically-expressed will of the people of the District of Columbia and deprived this community of a gun law it enacted thirty years ago and still strongly supports.

Right now, the two polls of Washington D.C. news sources that Charles posted asking if respondents support the Court's decision show: 84% Yes, 16% No at WTOP News. 82% Yes, 18% No at NBC4.

Mr. Helmke obviously has a different view of reality than most of the American population.
