To: war (#0) WASHINGTON (AP) -- 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. By a narrow, 5-4 vote, the justices signaled, however, that less severe restrictions could survive legal challenges. Writing for the court in a case involving restrictive laws in Chicago and one of its suburbs, Justice Samuel Alito said that the Second Amendment right "applies equally to the federal government and the states." The court was split along familiar ideological lines, with five conservative-moderate justices in favor of gun rights and four liberals opposed. Chief Justice Roberts voted with the majority. Two years ago, the court declared that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to possess guns, at least for purposes of self-defense in the home. That ruling applied only to federal laws. It struck down a ban on handguns and a trigger lock requirement for other guns in the District of Columbia, a federal city with a unique legal standing. At the same time, the court was careful not to cast doubt on other regulations of firearms here. Gun rights proponents almost immediately filed a federal lawsuit challenging gun control laws in Chicago and its suburb of Oak Park, Ill, where handguns have been banned for nearly 30 years. The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence says those laws appear to be the last two remaining outright bans. Lower federal courts upheld the two laws, noting that judges on those benches were bound by Supreme Court precedent and that it would be up to the high court justices to ultimately rule on the true reach of the Second Amendment. The Supreme Court already has said that most of the guarantees in the Bill of Rights serve as a check on state and local, as well as federal, laws. Monday's decision did not explicitly strike down the Chicago area laws, ordering a federal appeals court to reconsider its ruling. But it left little doubt that they would eventually fall. Still, Alito noted that the declaration that the Second Amendment is fully binding on states and cities "limits (but by no means eliminates) their ability to devise solutions to social problems that suit local needs and values." Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'! Brian S  posted on  2010-06-28   10:41:41 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #2. To: Brian S (#1) Those of us that support all the amendments of the Constitution are very pleased with the recent Court rulings on the 2nd. Personally, I get a great deal of satisfaction noting the internet/locker room lawyers getting their bullshit arguments slapped down after the past decade in various forums. Without the 2nd Amendment, the others are worthless. News Update: Owe-bama ordered eggs and toast for breakfast. ABC/NBC/CBS/MSNBC/CNN all agree the decision to avoid bagels was 'Brilliant!'

To: Brian S (#1) (Edited) I find it interesting that two justices who have spoken out against the incorporative properties of 14A have suddenly jumped on that bandwagon. If the court wants to be activist and lump an existing, yet unemumerated, individual right, i.e. SELF defense, into 2A, I don't have a problem with it. But, given that 2A was a capitulation to the anti-federalist sentiment that Congress was given plenary power to arm the militia and could thus, through legislation or even simple inaction, disarm the militia, it is still an activist decision. #67.

Without the 2nd Amendment, the others are worthless. they basically extended Heller to cover state/local governments (Heller was written in such a way that it only applied to Federally administered areas such as D.C.). As a result, governments are free to impose gun control restrictions that are "reasonable" (whatever that means) but can't outright ban gun ownership.
