Yes, it should. I’m unhappy that so many people that are sworn to uphold the constitution are working against the constitution.

I’m of the same mind, Swamps and Theo, in a rational court, this would have been a 9-0 decision. It’s frightening that there are so many ideologues of the left, actively pursuing their agenda, country be damned.
As to the bans on gun ownership in public housing, extremely high crime areas, there is also the proposed bans on types of guns for those residents, who traditionally have little money. That is the alleged “Saturday Night Special,” which in real world speak is an inexpensive, usually low quality, handgun, which could be the only difference between a resident being able to defend themselves and their family.
No, the left in this country doesn’t care about it’s citizens, and only pays lip service to it’s own constituents for votes, nothing more.
Still, this a victory, and should be celebrated as such, as it sends shivers down the gelatinous substance that used to be a spine for the opponents of gun ownership. Lawsuits should be getting filed in Chicago and California, PDQ.
I should note, though, that I am concerned about many questions that this decision did not address.

Four of the justices voted to abolish a constitutional right. I am not at all happy with that idea and, indeed, I need to start looking for a militia.

Good point.

Well, liberals don’t want minority children to grow up in two-family households, they don’t want to take drugs out of their neighbourhoods, and they don’t want them to have school choice so they can get a decent education and go to college.

Why on earth would they care if one of them got shot? It’s not really inconsistent with the general pattern….

I should also note that it is the “liberal” faction that would like to take away the right of self protection for the dwellers* in “crime-ridden urban areas”.

*I believe that would be liberal for “minorities”.

WOO-HOOO!!!!!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

IT’S MORNING IN AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In my view, there simply is no untouchable constitutional right guaranteed by the Second Amendment to keep loaded handguns in the house in crime-ridden urban areas.

Unlike the untouchable Constitutional right to suck the brains out of your almost-born child?

Has she even read the document in question?
