Supreme Court rules for Gun Rights

Post by AlphaDoG »

CNN wrote: Court rules for gun rights, strikes Chicago handgun ban

In another dramatic victory for firearm owners, the Supreme Court has ruled unconstitutional Chicago, Illinois' 28-year-old strict ban on handgun ownership, a potentially far-reaching case over the ability of state and local governments to enforce limits on weapons.

WOOT! As a native and current resident of the communist state of Illinois, I applaud!
It's never good to wake up in the shrubs naked, you either got way too drunk, or your azz is a werewolf.

It wouldn't surprise me if the number of shootings in Chicago go up from this, but if they do I would be curious about how many of them get categorized as legitimate self-defense. At any rate this is good news for the law-abiding citizens and bad news for criminals.

With the crazy amount of shooting deaths here in Chicago, I fail to see how gun restrictions are helping anyway.

It's a good day for the constitution.
