Eleanor Holmes Norton on moves to allow DC residents to have loaded guns at home:

"They're trying to see to it that more children get killed," said D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, a Democrat.

Well, that is sure to keep the debate focussed on the facts. Derrill Holly has the AP article in the Washington Times.

Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison's bill:

would enable city residents to keep loaded handguns in their homes for personal protection. Most private handgun ownership in the District has been prohibited by law since 1976.

"Crack down on the criminal as opposed to taking away the rights of law-abiding citizens," said Sen. George Allen, Virginia Republican.

There is a case on this before the Supreme Court which will likely have far-reaching consequeces, no matter how it comes out.
