A Liberal Proposal

In a 5-4 decision, the US Supreme Court struct down the District of Columbia's anti-handgun legislation. Although the ruling clearly stated that the US Constitution protects the rights of individuals to bear guns apart from membership in militias, that does not mean efforts to control handgun usage are dead -- anti-gun advocates just have to be more creative.

I have a suggestion to make to the District of Columbia. Since their anti-handgun legisilation cannot stand, I suggest that it be replaced with a $5000 annual handgun registration fee.
