You're paying for this case out of your own pocket.  How much has it cost you?
I have paid for the whole thing, but a good part of this case was put together on donated time on the part of the attorneys involved.  My co-counsel Clark Neily and I are working on this pro bono, and our lead counsel, Alan Gura, is working at subsistence-level wages.  But I've spent a sizable sum of money, a substantial five-figure number.

    If I am not mistaken, mayors have armed security protecting them and their families. If I had armed security protecting me and my family, I wouldn't need a handgun for protection either. If the mayor does away with his security detail, I might turn in my guns. Not! Just because he lives in a safe, secure enviornment doesn't mean we all of do. When he moves his family into the barrio or ghetto for awhile, he will finally realize why a handgun for protection at home is a necessity!

    Mayor Fenty would never consider how many people got murdered or maimed because they couldn't protect themselves. Would he consider it HIS duty to suffer a criminal attack defencelessley in keeping with his socialist views?You just let the criminal attack you in the name of keeping the total violence and insult to society minimal?
    I think he's another Liberal in a suit modeling stupidity for us! There's a surplus of them! And of violence surounding them like buzzing flies.
    Thats not a coincidence.
