A GREAT VICTORY FOR LIBERTY AND THE CONSTITUTION

In another great victory for Constitutional rights and liberty, the Supreme court today struck down Chicago's gun ban by siding with the plaintiff in McDonald vs Chicago.

Essentially the die was cast in DC vs. Heller -- the first time in a long time that the court had even addressed the 2nd Amendment. This decision affirms the same thing: The 2nd Amendment means what it says, and it DOES apply to the individual. Cities, municipalities and states have no more right to rescind this Constitutional right than they do freedom of speech, assembly or press.

Of course, the gun-grabbers will continue their nazi style gun-grabbing tactics, not based on any common sense argument or historical statistics, but purely on emotional grounds. Since they believe that it is the gun that causes the crime, and not the person holding it, they see guns as inherently evil, rather than a useful tool for defending oneself and others. As such, they must be banned, and the Constitution and founders be damned.

Thank God we still have a court with enough justices on board who disregard these lies and apply the Constitution first, rather than knee-jerk emotional reactionism.
