The Supreme Court announced this morning it will hear a challenge to Chicago’s gun restrictions that will determine if local handgun bans are legal.
Last year, the high court ruled the 2nd Amendment gave individuals the right to possess firearms and struck down Washington, D.C.’s gun bans.
Left open was the question of whether states and local governments are required to do the same.
This is great news. With crime on the rise in the city and the police force dangerously undermanned, it’s about time this law gets potentially struck down and citizens once again be allowed to protect their own homes.
Because when seconds count, the police are minutes away.
