"Writing for the court in a case involving restrictive laws in Chicago and one of its suburbs, Justice Samuel Alito said that the Second Amendment right 'applies equally to the federal government and the states.'"

"The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence says those laws appear to be the last two remaining outright bans."

"The Supreme Court already has said that most of the guarantees in the Bill of Rights serve as a check on state and local, as well as federal, laws."

Finally, some good news around here. I think I'm going to buy a new gun and smoke a joint to celebrate!

How the other four could vote no is beyond me. Our natural rights are so close to being totally wiped out it's not even funny.

Natural rights are only good to those strong enough to defend them from the tyranny of Government and other oppressors.

Good news, but I was surprised it was so close.
