Supreme Court Ruling on 2nd Amendment...

[clevalley]

Don't you have the right to a .22 in DC, just no handguns?

If you can own a .22 rifle, that's a gun the last time I checked.

They will say soemthing about balancing public safety, the right to life, against the freedom to bear arms and that the pursuit of life means the government can manage or put limits on the right to bear arms.

.22 rifle is not a handgun - the ban was on handguns...

 

[desertrat]

That's what this is about.
The city says you don't have the right to own a gun.

Just a handgun.

Yes its a red letter day for American Freedom.

You'd be wrong again. This court is very good at blanket decisions. It will be all or nothing.

It looks like it was you who was wrong again. I was right on the money.

Just a handgun.

But they also had regulation on longguns and shotguns.

Disassembled or Gun lock was mandatory in the home.

I'm hearing a lot of chatter about gun lock laws. The Supreme Court said that Americans do have a right to keep a gun for self defense, and trigger locks make it difficult to defend yourself effectively, so trigger lock laws may go next.

Now if we can only get that 5-4 decision maintaining the constitutionality of hunting Liberals....

Well...

...perhaps a lesson was learned herein?

Tell me, oh wise one, what restrictions did the Supreme Court put in place on gun ownership today?

Long time coming.

...dictates that the best way for you to learn is to pay attention to the links I already posted. Failing that, read the ruling. Thus you shall have the liberating freedom and independence of not having people do the work for you. Twice.

I did read it.

The Supreme Court didn't place any regulation on gun ownership, it just said the city can put regulation on gun ownership and permits.

We won!! Kudos to the 5

Poo-poo on the 4 who want to snuff the American people one step at a time oopontheirhead:

A win is a win I guess. Would of like to see it a bit more decisive though.

The Supreme Court ruled that outright bans are unconstitutional but left all other limitations in place. If you'll recall, I predicted, correctly, that "I bet they split the baby. They'll affirm that it is an individual right, strike down the DC and Chicago laws, but say more "reasonable" restrictions are okay in the name of public safety." And gee wiz... that's exactly what they did.

Maybe someday you'll be man enough to admit when you're wrong.

Forget it Larry... He's afraid to admit that his predicton was dead ass wrong.

Maybe we can see it as a win is a start. It won't be long before a lawsuit gets filed against Chicago, then NYC, then San Francisco, and on down the line until all the ban laws get shredded.

Well you're wrong!!! When you split something, you agree with changing two different things. The Supreme court changed 1 thing and left the other in place. Sorry even a court janitor could have figured out they would maintain restricting guns to convicted felons and people with mental issues. Get over yourself!!!
