Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Gun Rights
While the Supreme Court’s ruling in McDonald v. Chicago is a step in the right direction, nothing will really change. The anti-gunners will continue to attack the Second Amendment one way or another.
WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court ruled for the first time that gun possession is fundamental to American freedom, giving federal judges the power to strike down state and local weapons laws for violating the Second Amendment.
In a 5-4 ruling, the court held that the Second Amendment’s right to keep and bear arms is a fundamental right that binds states.
The Supreme Court’s ruling is likely to lead to years of litigation across the country as lower courts decide how far the right to bear arms extends and which restrictions are unconstitutional. Justice John Paul Stevens, in dissent, said the 2008 ruling has already triggered a “tsunami of legal uncertainty.” He predicted more “confusion, upheaval and burden on the states.”
Remember the words and take them to heart. We United We Stand !!
It’s a Fact that more Gun Control ‘Does Not Stop or Prevent’ Criminals from getting any type of Gun!!!!!!!
The only people affected by Gun Laws are Law-Abiding Citizens!!!!!!
Guns can be purchased on the Black Market with no questions or license attainment!!!
Why are people so ‘Naive’ in thinking CRIMINALS WILL ABIDE BY ANY LAW!!!
If criminals could get access to a gun, law abiding citizens should have heir right to defend themselves
With Kagan on the Court, we may lose the next round 4-5! If she is willing to ban books, and change a statement regarding partial birth abortion when speaking to the SC, she’d not give the 2nd Amendment a second thought.
And — Stand We Must!
OMG – That was an odd viewpoint. I am not sure I have the same view.
