In continuation of my last post about the Supreme Court reviewing the legality of the gun ban within the District of Columbia , i brought forth a case in which March 16, 1976 three women were brutally raped , and of the D.C. police departments failure to act . Also i wrote of the end result when the three women took the District of Columbia to court (Warren v. District of Columbia). After the Superior Court ruling the three women's case went to the D.C. Court of Appeals . Again the women's lawsuit met with failure . The Court of Appeals ruling was as follows "The duty to provide public services is owed to the public at large , and , absent a special relationship between the police and an individual , no specific legal duty exists ." To me it sounds like the courts were covering up for some incompetent cops and those three women had to pay a price for it . According to the D.C. gun ban all rifles and those few remaining legal handguns must be broken down and trigger locked while in the home . I had to read that stipulation twice to be sure i understood it correctly . So in other words in D.C. in the middle of the night and someone breaks into your home , you must be able to wake instantly alert and in the dark assemble all the pieces of your gun before the intruder finds and deals with you . And this is supposed to make me feel safe how ?
