Federal judge considers contempt charge against D.C. over gun laws
By Andrea Noble, The Washington Times, Thursday, November 20, 2014 A federal judge is weighing a request to hold the District in contempt of court for enacting new gun laws that are so restrictive as to be out of compliance with his order to allow for firearms to be carried publicly in the city. During a hearing Thursday, U.S. District Judge Frederick J. Scullin Jr. asked the city and the plaintiffs fighting the regulations for additional filings on whether the city should be considered in contempt of his order that officials develop a licensing scheme “consistent with constitutional standards enabling people to exercise their Second Amendment right to bear arms.” www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/nov/20/federal-judge-considers-contempt-charge-against-dc/
