I saw mention of the opposition to the extension, basically it was summed up with "5 months wasnt enough for DC to write their petition?
Everallm- I've tried explaining the very point you made to anti's I know, and their response was to cover their ears and go "la la la la la la la" and maybe throw in a few lines about how "the founders could never have envisioned todays weapons" which of course is untrue.
The antis are getting desperate.
I just heard on the radio that the DC Million Mom March chapter did one of those "32 lie-ins" within the past hour outside the D.C. Circuit's building, "to protest how easy it is to get a handgun in D.C."

If the antis believe that our Founding Fathers couldn't have imagined what weapons would evolve, one must look back in retrospect and note that many of them saw the evolution of the rifle and pistol from a dream with touch holes, to match locks, and on to flint locks. Before that there was the bow and arrow, sword, spear, rocks, torches and pitchforks. Some lived into the 19th Century and saw revolvers.
