It hasn't been put to rest nor will it ever be. Too hot of a topic. The first Chicago (illegal to own handguns in the city) lawsuit was filed hours after this decision. There will be many more lawsuits to follow. The court did leave some wiggle room in their decision regarding dangerous weapons, registration, etc, so cities and states will still be able to regulate things. I support the decision and hope it changes things in Chicago. I, luckily, live outside the city and don't have to worry about the BS. I am 100% pro responsible gun ownership. There was a 3 year old (about 10 miles from me) who died 2 days ago playing with a loaded handgun. It's idiots like those parents who make gun laws necessary. BTW - this is my gun safe - it's 543 lbs of "my kid's not getting in" along with a double manual key + electronic passcode lock.  Matthew |
