Supreme Court to hear Chicago gun ban case March 2, 2010 (employment, legal, lawyer)

[Little-Acorn]

This article is about a different case, not the gun ban. But see the note in the first full paragraph.

Chicago has anti-gun-rights law as bad as DC's laws were (and maybe still are). It is the next forum where these draconian laws are to be challenged. Hopefully the Constitution will emerge victorious.

In modern language, the 2nd amendment says:

"Since an armed and capable populace is necessary for security and freedom, the right of ordinary people to own and carry guns and other such weapons, cannot be taken away or restricted."

DC v. Heller was a step forward, though it has flaws. Now for the next step.

I've read the briefs filed by the gun ban supporters. They're using arguments that were trashed in the Heller case (like arguing since some shotguns and rifles are legal, handgun bans are okay...). It almost reads like they know they're going to lose and don't want to put much effort into it.

Don't count on that. Oral arguments can be quite different from written briefs.

The socialists will fight every step to keep as many of their opponents (that is, law-abiding, responsible Americans) disarmed as possible.
