WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court held Monday that the Constitution's Second Amendment restrains government's ability to significantly limit "the right to keep and bear arms," advancing a recent trend by the John Roberts-led bench to embrace gun rights.
just like how the 4th amendment applies to the states via the 14th amendment.Justice Samuel Alito said that the Second Amendment right "applies equally to the federal government and the states."

Because the ban is obviously working so well Daley is such a tool. The stats on the above referenced shooting are not yet available but i can almost guarantee that the weapons used were not obtained legally. if this rings true it pretty much nullifies the purpose of stringent gun control laws.Daley said the violence last weekend, 54 people shot, at least 10 of those people dead, shows the need for the city's handgun ban to remain in place.
