Supreme Court-2nd Amendment Victory-MCDONALD ET AL. v. CITY OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS
http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/09pdf/08-1521.pdf
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
This should have been a no-brainer that WE THE PEOPLE have a RIGHT to bear arms. It really was a no-brainer until the last 3 decades or so. People have had decreasing amounts of brain capacity and common sense when it comes to the Second Amendment and politics in general. This is easy to see just by noticing almost half of America doesn’t even bother to vote in one of the most meaningful elections in the last 60 years and probably the next 60 years. Because of that, we now have an idiot socialist for President and a majority of idiots controlling congress. We will also get another left wing radical judge shoved down our throats because of the growing ignorance of America. What really scary about this ruling is how close it was. The radicals have succeeded in getting a near majority in the highest court in the country. VERY scary. Lets hope we take back Washington in the fall and in 2012. We will need to repeal some socialist laws that were past and with luck, a liberal Supreme Court idiot will die off or quit while a patriot is in office, unlike now.
OK, on to the ruling. The most important part is below. Read the actual ruling if you want all their citings or want to read the dissenting idiots views (again, very scary).
“Two years ago, in District of Columbia v. Heller, 554
U. S. ___ (2008), we held that the Second Amendment protects the right to keep and bear arms for the purpose of self-defense, and we struck down a District of Columbia law that banned the possession of handguns in the home.The city of Chicago (City) and the village of Oak Park, a Chicago suburb, have laws that are similar to the District of Columbia’s, but Chicago and Oak Park argue that their laws are constitutional because the Second Amendment has no application to the States. We have previously held that most of the provisions of the Bill of Rights apply with full force to both the Federal Government and the States. Applying the standard that is well established in our caselaw, we hold that the Second Amendment right is fully applicable to the States.”
