Well Said: Ralph Conner
Comments 0 | Recommend 0“I hope the Supreme Court’s decision to hear this handgun ban case will result in another ruling affirming that individuals, and not militias, retain the constitutional right to armed self-defense. Just as the (District of Columbia v. Heller) decision invalidated the Washington, D.C., handgun ban, the citizens of Chicago may soon regain freedoms intended as a gift from the nation’s founders. ... A ruling affirming the Second Amendment applies to the states and their subdivisions will be a major stride toward individual liberty and constitutional freedom, as the false promises of security from gun control policies which disarm law-abiding citizens are replaced by a commitment to observe and apply the tenets of the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.”
