Firearms Supreme Court Ruling

Last nights net dealt exclusively with the Supreme Court's decision in the Heller v District of Columbia case. As most people know, The District of Columbia imposed a ban on firearms many, many years ago. Not surprisingly, DC has enjoyed the distinction of having one of the nations very highest murder and crime rates. Unfortunately, gun control advocates have missed or ignored this very important connection.

The issues confronted by the Court included the question of whether the second amendment confirmed an individual right to keep and bear handguns and, if so, was the DC ban a violation of the second amendment. The Court affirmed that the right to keep and bear arms was an individual right having nothing to do with the military. They also recognized that handguns are the preferred means of self defense, especially in the home, and that laws banning possession of same were unconstitutional. The court affirmed that we have a right to self defense and that handguns are an acceptable means of doing so. This was a good day for Americans and in particular American gunowners.
