From the Washington Post:
[Indiana Republican Congressman Mark Edward] Souder's bill ... would deny the District's elected officials "authority to enact laws or regulations that discourage or eliminate the private ownership or use of firearms." The legislation has 228 co-sponsors, more than enough to clear the 435-member House.
Here, the Washington Republicans reveal their true (lack of) respect for self-government. Ronald Reagan used to say we should have faith in our local communities -- not the Federal Government in Washington-- to set our standards. This is no longer the party of Reagan.
