WWJD? (What would Jefferson do?)

In the post below I asked, "What's next?" I just heard the answer on the local news: Congress plans to vote today to repeal Washington, D.C.'s gun control laws. It looks like the Republican answer to the terrorist threat is that citizens should arm themselves.

Most disturbing about the move to repeal D.C gun laws is that the people of D.C. have no say in the matter. As a Virginian, I would take issue with lawmakers from Indiana or Texas imposing their will on the Virginia legislature. What ever happened to governments "deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed"?
