D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty is announcing that the District is going forward with an appeal to the Supreme Court in the Parker case.

The announcement puts to rest rumors and concerns that DC would simply make minor adjustments to their oppressive gun restrictions to feign compliance with the Federal Circuit Court's decision stating that the Second Amendment refers to an individual right.

The next step in the process is for the Supreme Court to decide whether they will hear the case or not.  If they do not choose to hear it, the court ruling stands and its decision carries a bit more weight than it would have had if it had never been appealed to the SCOTUS, but it would still not be a binding precedent for all federal courts.  If the Supreme Court does choose to hear the case it will be almost impossible for them to reach a decision without a clear statement of whether the Second Amendment applies to only state militias such as the National Guard or whether it is an individual right.

Please spread this news and start writing letters to the editor; the anti-gunners will be mounting massive media campaigns in attempts to convince the Court that the American people no longer believe in the Second Amendment.  It is up to us - you and me - to diffuse that nonsense and make it clear that the majority of Americans recognize the right to arms as a basic human right.

We will keep you posted as the issue develops and we will present more in-depth analysis in "The Knox Report" and in the Blogs on our newly revamped website - www.FirearmsCoalition.org.

Yours for the Second Amendment,

Jeff Knox
The Firearms Coalition
