Not without my gun
The weapon lobby struck alarm, when Barack Obama was selected to the president. The fear: There could be substantial restrictions of the right to possession of arms. The opposite is the case.
The weapon love of the Americans is a difficult topic. Europeans understand it only heavily, for American politicians are them a hot iron. With the weapon lobby one does not put on oneself better, even if one does not divide its opinions. That cannot be done also to US president Obama differently. It signed a law, which permits a carrying of weapons also in national park. To its defense one must say: Hardly another choice had remained for it: The weapon-free gift for the protected areas and monuments of the country was coupled to the law, which protects consumers from obscure and covered credit card contracts.
This kind of Junktim, thus the coupling of laws, is a speciality of the weapon fans. So may the citizens of the capital Washington, who District OF Columbia, differently than those of the other Federal States, no representatives in the house of representatives to still select. The appropriate law, which should grant them this right finally, was let now fall to the repetitive mark. Because to it a loosening of the weapon laws would not be coupled in D.C. with logic has that anything to do.
McCain for more weapons in DC
The weapon laws in the US capital had to be loosened after a decision of the highest Court of Justice of already 2008. The meant: The prohibition to possess semiautomatic weapons was waived. Also the inhabitants of Washington can request gun licenses now and keep pistols in their house. For John McCain is the however obviously not enough. The loser of the last presidency running brought a bill now into the congress, that became the weapon laws in the capital of still far up-soft: The purchase of ammunition was facilitated and the conditions for the registration and the purchase by weapons was loosened.
To the question, why a senator from Arizona worries about the weapon laws in Washington, the republican senator, it answered believed to exercise that “citizens should be generally speaking country able, their constitutionally confirmed by a document right to possession of arms.” Coincidental way McCain faces in addition in its mother country Arizona for the re-election into the senate a strong challenger from the own rows. There it cannot harm to serve the right clientele.
Armed to Starbucks
Even if the law in the congress has first no chance, at least McCain might have itself the voices of the organization “OpenCarry.org” secured. Their members exert themselves for the fact that they may carry their weapons also in the public - for everyone visibly, but naturally duly into a Holster fastened. The group was created 2004 and has above all one to the goal: She wants to accustom the public to the sight of weapons carrying citizens. Beginning of last week one met at the Washington Monument, in the heart of the capital. Because the prohibition of public carrying of pistols and rifles is there however still valid, one had to be content with posters.
Differently it is there in some national park in the neighbouring Virginia. There the Protestler was less numerously, but however after heart desire armed. And if it dürstete it after a Cappuccino, was also no problem, if a branch of the coffee chain were Starbucks in the proximity. Because those explained several times publicly: , Where carrying the weapons permits actual thus in 43 Federal States - liking gladly cowboys may order its Caramel Macchiato also with the Knarre in the Holster. Companies can actually forbid a carrying of weapons in their business. Starbucks does without it.
