July 4 armed march in DC...???

How long are we supposed to tolerate the DC court's refusal to cut a decision in the carry case, Palmer v. DC?

It was fully briefed and waiting for a decision in what, mid-2009? By July we'll have been waiting five years. For an INITIAL decision that we'll likely have to appeal...or if we win, it's a dead certainty that DC will appeal and the struck-down law will get a stay until that sorts out.

If the Supremes won't take a carry case as they've refused to so far, and the district court level flat-out ignores us...what the hell do we do, guys? Just take it?
 
Hold on. The last piece we have of the "right to petition for redress of grievance" lies in the courts. If the courthouse door is literally closed to us that's a very serious problem.

There are other courts and other cases. If we look back at the history of the 2nd Amendment and the court system, 5 years is a blink of an eye. This stuff will take time, and there will be setbacks.

As it is, Kokesh's work was never about effecting change for the RKBA. It was about his own personal grandstanding. We're better off without him.

Forget about Kokesh. OK? And I'm sorry but "other cases" and "setbacks" doesn't cut it.

We haven't LOST the DC carry case. We've been denied access to court. That ain't the same thing. We can appeal a loss. We can even learn from a loss at appeals and try again. But to get shut out of the courthouse entirely is a whole 'nother level of problem.

Does anybody reading this thread have a solution?

Does anybody have an opinion as to how long we should wait at the courthouse door?

Six years?

Ten?
