Way to Go, Kay!

Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) has done a magnificent job filing a court brief in support of our second amendment rights

WASHINGTON (Map, News) - Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, who might start run for Texas governor next year, has mustered support from a majority of Senate and House members to help persuade the Supreme Court to strike down the District of Columbia's gun laws.
Hutchison said Thursday she is filing a friend-of-the-court brief in a challenge to the laws. Fifty-five senators and 250 House members have signed the brief to be filed Thursday by her and Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont.
Hutchison has long opposed the district's ban on handguns and requirement that rifles and shotguns be registered, stored unloaded and either locked or disassembled. She has sponsored legislation several times to overturn the district's laws. Her 2004 bill passed the House, but not the Senate.
The district's law forced her to dismantle and return to Texas her .357 Magnum she brought with her when she moved from Austin.

What's wrong with Kay having a .357? Are the gun-grabbers afraid she might successfully defend herself against some hoodlum?
