D.C. to pay $5.1 million settlement after judge finds Second Amendment violations

[Kanly]

Hope this isn't a dupe

D.C. will pay $5.1 million as part of a class-action settlement with gun owners who were arrested under laws that have since been found to violate the Second Amendment, according to the settlement agreement.

"In this case, the six plaintiffs — including four non-D.C. residents — were arrested between 2012 and 2014 on gun-related charges. They filed a lawsuit in 2015."

The strange thing to me is -- of the two examples given -- they both would have seemed to me to be covered under FOPA yet both were arrested.

Anyway good to see DC being forced to pay for their mistakes.

Reagan judge. D.C. will appeal, drag it out and reverse in six years.

It's a settlement agreement, that means DC and the Plaintiff's agreed to the settlement and the cash, all the judge has to do is approve it.

“DC pays it” = who paying for it?

It isn’t a victory until the tyrants that violated their rights pays.

Has been often repeated in various iterations and has never been incorrect.

so, the tax payer will pay for the violation that DC say it's illegal? sounds like a win-win for DC govnerment

QFT.

Until we have penalties for the penning of unconstitutional laws we will see no end to this. This is "no skin off their back".
