Actually.. I agree with you.

I thought the same thing.

On one hand, if they rule it un-constitutional, that means states rights are violated.

Then on the other hand, that makes it so that over restrictive gun laws are removed eventually.

Does this then become a win-win? Personally I think it is a deeper argument than that.

Ban handguns? Supreme Court taking a new look


Is the title. and it reads like this:

The supreme court is going to ban your guns!


Myself and probably many others, had no idea that people were spitballing banning handguns in Chicago, or whether they were actually banned there. Also Chicago isn't mentioned anywhere in the title at all.

Maybe a less confusing title could be:

Gun ban under scrutiny


Or something like that

Anyway I'm not complaining, it's good thread with some good news in it. It just gets repetitive when lazy people like me walk into a topic with a misleading title, and then it ends up like this. (I know I know, don't be lazy!)

Read these and calm down.

This is an important case because it will determine if the current restrictive gun-control laws are constitutional.

It needs to be done and now is a good time.

Let us pray that the court will uphold the Second Amendment as a Constitutionally protected individual right at the federal level.



lol...that was pretty funny....getting all worked up over misunderstandings hehehe. But then again I was a bit confused which way the review was going at first as well. Its late and I havent slept well lately so thats my excuse. Hope the gun laws lighten up, bout time someone had the sense to consider these current laws a bit reaching....

It's never a good thing when the Supreme Court feels it needs to once again, check to see if we have the right to self-defense.
