Republican Sue Myrick of North Carolina has written House Speaker for a vote to overturn the all firearms ban at the nations capitol, DC.

Conservative Republican members of Congress are pressing for a House floor debate Sept. 13 on a bill to overturn the District of Columbia’s ban on all firearms in the nation’s capitol.

Rep. Sue Myrick of North Carolina, representing the conservative Republican Study Committee, has written House Speaker Dennis Hastert asking for the vote. Sept. 13 is the date when the federal ban on assault weapons expires because Republican leaders don’t plan to bring it up in the House.

Besides being the nation’s capitol, DC is also the murder capitol. In my post Gun Control, I state that gun control takes away guns from law abiding citizens which then promotes violence. I believe this is the same case for DC. All DC law abiding citizens need their Second Amendment Right, “The Right to Keep and Bear Arms” to protect themselves from criminals and murderers.
