Regarding the Nov. 21 front-page article "Justices to Rule on D.C. Gun Ban":
People come from all parts of the world to America for opportunity and freedom. However, in our own nation's capital, people are not given the right to own handguns.
I am glad that the Supreme Court has agreed to hear this important case, which if upheld would once again allow the good people of the District the freedom to own handguns, a right that is recognized nearly everywhere else in this great
nation.
Mayor Adrian M. Fenty (D) said: "We should have the right to make our own decisions." I could not agree more.

The problem with giving a gun to Dick A. Heller, the security officer who is a plaintiff in District of Columbia v. Heller, is that the court would also be giving a gun to thousands of violent criminals in the District, which already has a murder rate among the highest in the country -- because there are just too many guns.
