D.C. City Council Member to Introduce Another "Unconstitutional Gun Law"

The Washington Post reports:
Council member Phil Mendelson (D-At Large) has decided to introduce legislation tomorrow that will address the Supreme Court ruling on the city's gun ban. The bill would repeal the prohibition on handguns.

He made the announcement at the council's news briefing held in preparation for tomorrow's meeting.

It would still require that a firearm be disassembled, unloaded and trigger-locked in the home but would tweak the current law to allow an exception for self-defense.
We suggest D.C. residents look into racketeering if this passes.
