Heller Runnning for House of Representatives
WASHINGTON -- Dick Heller, the plaintiff in the Supreme Court case that overturned Washington's strict 32-year-old handgun ban, announced his candidacy on Thursday for the U.S. House of Representatives.

Heller, 66, is seeking the seat currently held by Eleanor Holmes Norton. He is gathering signatures to run on the ballot as a libertarian candidate.

I doubt D.C. is appreciative for having their rights as Americans vindicated. In fact, too many are probably upset and fearful about it for him to win now. Maybe in a few years.

1. He's running as a libertarian?
Why bother?

3. Why would anyone bother running for a non-voting House seat?
But people still do

2. He might do more good as
mayor of DC. It is the same voters, no?
