Prior to the decision in DC vs Heller, Washington DC banned the possesion of all functional firearms. The premier international gun control organization, IANSA, of which Brady is an affiliate member, advocates for the total elimination of all personal firearms with the exception of a single shot long arm with lethality limited to 100 meters. Persons who wish to own such a firearm must demonstrate a legitimate hunting or sporting purpose, must belong to a hunting or sports club and the firearm must be stored at said hunting or sports club when not in active use for hunting and sports. Self defense useage of firearms is not considered a legitimate useage and no firearms may be kept a t home.
It is not paranoid if they are really out to get you.
Given the fact there is no pending legislation in any jurisdiction seeking to confiscate firearms indeed renders those fearful of confiscation delusional and paranoid.
And DC vs Heller ended that argument.
Held:
1. The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.
It did not end the argument, it merely delayed it with the hope that a change in the makeup of the court will change the result in Heller.
