Todays Oklahoman carries a story that Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson joined a brief filed on Monday by 31 states, and the entire Oklahoma congressional delegation joined the brief filed by Dick Cheney and 305 other members of Congress.
The money quote:
"The brief by the states says, "Every state in the union permits private citizens to own handguns. Forty-five states go further, allowing private citizens to carry concealed handguns for self-defense.
"Thus, the District's sweeping firearm prohibitions are not only contrary to the Constitution, but also contrary to the reasoned judgment of every state legislature in the nation.”"
Nice place, Oklahoma.
