In today’s Washington Jewish Week, Ira N. Forman responds to Senator John Ensign’s (R-NV) amendment to the D.C. voting rights bill allowing D.C. residents and businesses to buy guns.

Forman does not mince his words:

“This is garbage that the Congress wants to keep going back in to try and tell us how to write and pass our laws. It’s as bad as not letting us vote,” said Ira Forman, the executive director of the National Jewish Democratic Council, a longtime proponent of the District’s right to have representation on the Hill. “From our perspective, this is really a decision for our [local] elected officials,” the District resident said.
