Constitution under attack: Chicago ban on handguns upheld by court

A Chicago ordinance banning handguns and automatic weapons within city limits was upheld on Tuesday by the U.S. Court of Appeals. The three-judge panel said the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment did not apply to state and municipalities.

So, exactly what does this mean? Does the Constitution of the United States of America not apply at all? There are 50 states in the union, one would say 57 (ahem, Obama).

There is a good thing that there is a group called the National Rifle Association that is appealing this court's decision to the United States Supreme Court. I just hope Judge Sonia Sotomayor isn't there to ban guns outright.

I am all for States' Rights, but this is unbelieavable. Actually, this isn't even a States' Rights issue, it's a Chicago issue, but the court had to thrown in "did not apply to state and municipalities."

The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution clearly states: "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”

IT HAS BEEN INFRINGED!!!

If a court can take away the Second Amendment, what can stop them from taking away more rights?

"Assault" on the Second Amendment

Attorney General Eric Holder has done it again. This time he is attacking the Second Amendment. He is proposing a ban on assault weapons in the United States.

Holder says this ban would cut down on the flow of guns from the United States in to Mexico. This may be true, but this is an attack on the Second Amendment. And, with no sales, this would mean that only the criminals would have the guns and the innocent would have no defense against them.

This can be bad, very bad.
