Supreme Court Uphold an Individual’s Right to Own a Gun
Wow! The Supreme Court struck down the D.C. gun ban. This is a significant development. For years there has been a debate between gun rights supporters and anti-gun activists on the meaning of the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution. Anti-gun activists have long viewed gun rights as belonging not to individuals but to the militia or another words to individuals empowered by the government to provide defense during times of national or state emergencies. The Supreme Court has struck down this argument saying gun ownership is an individual right. This is great news!
According to Justice Scalia, the 2nd amendment gives an individual a right to own a gun.
Anti-gun activists have been targeting gun ownership for years. They have attacked the meaning of the 2nd Amendment, they have attacked gun manufacturers, and they have a whole host of lawyers who are willing to work for free to deny gun owners their rights. These lawyers have gun so far as to blame guns for violence instead of the gun wielder. They have sued gun manufacturers for making defective guns because a criminal will sometimes use a gun to commit a crime. What a crock!
Thank Goodness the US Supreme Court finally took a stand on the Constitution.
More updates later.
