And the first lawsuit against an American fiefdom that restricts its peons from defending themselves using the same instruments civil servants are allowed has been filed:
BELLEVUE, WA – Following Thursday’s (5-4) ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of District of Columbia v. Heller that the Second Amendment protects an individual civil right to keep and bear arms, and that a municipal gun ban violates that right, the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and the Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA) filed a federal lawsuit (complaint) challenging the City of Chicago’s long-standing handgun ban.
While the Heller decision did not go far enough, it will open the floodgates to thousands of challenges to individual’s right to defend themselves. If the government is entitled to have a resource, then so am I – I will applaud each and every pro-gun lawsuit that is filed in the coming months.
If someone can show me a single American city that can definitively correlate reduced violence with a ban on gun ownership I will vote for Barack Obama in the upcoming election.
