    Rand Paul pushing for concealed carry in D.C.?

    MILLER: Gunning for D.C.
    http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/jul/5/gunning-for-dc/
    The District’s refusal to recognize the full meaning of the Second Amendment may not last much longer. A Supreme Court decision in 2008 forced Washington to allow residents to keep arms, and now Congress is pressuring the city to recognize the next part of that constitutional mandate: the right to bear them.

          He is an Ophthalmologist.

          Not unheard of for a Senator or Representative to be a medical doctor.

              Rand liked to play with his patients' eyes.

              His dad liked to play with his patients'...

                  Yes sir...guess it runs in the family!

                  He is indeed an Ophthalmologist and graduated from Duke University School of Medicine.

                              From the linked article in the OP:
                              Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid refuses to allow a floor vote on the House-passed national-reciprocity, concealed-carry bill because he knows it might actually pass.

                              Although such shenanigans are not actual votes on bills, I hope it is enough to get the NRA to oppose Reid if a pro-RKBA challenger is against him during his next reelection campaign.

                                      A lot of lawyers defend the constitution. Many of our founding fathers were lawyers.

                                          And then there're the lawyers in Congress.

                                              IIRC Reid was just re-elected in 2010 (with the NRA's help, which they took a lot of flak for) and he's not going to run in 2016.

                                                  This isn't the first time this has happened IIRC. I think DC also had a chance to get 1 rep in Congress, but the GOP put a similiar amendment up and DC whined about it and also had the bill pulled outright. It seems keeping a draconian law in place means more to DC than greater autonomy or representation in Congress. And yes, they're definitely scared that these amendments WILL pass.......
