If I find a link, I'll edit this and add it...but old Rahm basically said he doesn't care, he'll find a way to make sure guns stay illegal in his city...to keep people "safe", of course. I admire the courts in that they are trying to follow the Constitution, but if the dictators like Emmanuel and Bloomberg are just going to bypass the decision of the courts, its still a de facto ban. At least it puts the dictators in a bad light, though.

The court used "strict scrutiny" when assessing the 2nd Amendment. Good.

This looks like a duplicate of viewtopic.php?f=83&t=55953
I sincerely apologize to anybody I offended by suggesting the Second Amendment also applies to The People who don't work for the government.

“The reason we have gun laws — the reason I’m trying to also pass tougher gun laws down in Springfield — is because it’s an essential complement to your overall crime strategy,” Emanuel said at an unrelated news conference.
.... and how is that strategy workin' for you, Dictator Emanuel?

It is a shame that the political machine in Chicago doesn't let the voting public tell the good Mayor/Dictator what they think of his policies.

Exactly - to me, that's the big takeaway from this decision.
I'll quit carrying a gun when they make murder and armed robbery illegal
