it's been discussed before but i think it's worthy of a review.
so here it is, the gun law thread. what are your views. of the judement and the law as it stands in all or in individual states?
WASHINGTON (Indiana's NewsCenter/ABC News) - On the last day of its term, the Supreme Court greatly expanded the reach of the Second Amendment of the constitution by bringing state and local authorities within its scope.
In striking down a sweeping gun-control law in Chicago, the court is saying the right to own a firearm forbids an outright ban on guns, though it also says the right is not absolute.
Never before has the high court explicitly applied second amendment protections beyond the federal government.
For the first time Monday, the Supreme Court said the Second Amendment's right to bear arms applies to cities and states, and that 76-year-old Otis McDonald has a right to keep a handgun in his home for self-defense.
