If the senile oligarchs rule in favor of chicago on this, does that mean the protections listed in the rest of the bill of rights would only apply in federal cases, and the states could screw us at their leisure???

While the 10th Amendment states that the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people, AND since the 2nd Amendment specifically states “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”, I don’t see how the Court could rule otherwise except for ideological bias. The Court better be careful, if they don’t keep these morons in Congress and state legislatures “in check”, they will leave the people of this country no other alternative but to revolt.

This ought to be a no-brainer. But then some of the recent decisions by the “high court” would make one wonder if they had any brains. You would also have to wonder what they were smoking to make them the “high court” in the first place.

If the 2nd amendment only applies to Federal enclaves; am I breaking the law by reading the morning paper in my home in Maine. Does the court see a limitation on the 1st amendent as well?

One amend doesn’t negate another. There is no state right to restrict firearms ownership because of the 2nd amend, so the the 10th doesn’t even come into play.

Gotta be careful with this one not to step on states rights in the 10th amendment…
I’m there with ya on the 2nd but our federal government is way the fuck out of line in regards to trampling states rights…

Ah, hell! Why doesn’t Chicago also ban two-by-fours? That’s all O’s future soulja boyz needed to kill one of their own.

This is critical since nearly all major cities are lefty strongholds and have similar illegal gun restrictions. If the Court UPHOLDS the constitution it could be domino’s for these ridiculous criminal protections and punishments to law abiding citizens.
