Will the Supremes allow people to defend themselves in Chicago?
Chicago gun ban goes before Supreme Court
Chicago’s ban on the sale and possession of handguns has been weathering legal challenges for years. But it gained newfound attention after the Supreme Court in 2008 struck down a similar handgun ban in the District of Columbia. The court now plans to decide whether the ruling on D.C., a city with unique federal status, should apply to local and state laws, too.
Hopefully they will allow these people the means to defend themselves from an armed criminal class that the police have no means-nor responsibility or duty- to protect them from.
