The Left is always willing to cite Supreme Court cases and demand that the states and the people abide by the high court’s decisions. Unless, of course, the decisions are contrary to the leftist ideology, in which case there will be an endless parade of liberal legislators creating new laws to tell the people what they can and cannot do, even when it directly contradicts a Supreme Court ruling. They always think they know better and are more than willing to ignore settled case law if it suits their liberal agenda.
This is glaringly obvious when it comes to gun laws that various cities and states impose on citizens in response to violence that they are unable to control in their jurisdictions. In places such as Los Angeles, California, Washington D.C., and Chicago, Illinois, it is clear that criminal activity is out of control, in spite of the fact that these cities have some of the most draconian anti-gun laws on the books. But with criminals running wild, and citizens cowering in their homes and staying far away from downtown areas because the criminals having free reign, what is the automatic reaction of liberals and left leaning politicians? Why, taking away guns from law-abiding citizens!
In 2008, a case entitled District of Columbia v. Heller finally reached the Supreme Court, and a decision was handed down that many thought would put an end to the constant squabbling over who had the right to own a gun, and what the terms for such ownership were. It turns out that certain cities and states have decided to completely ignore that ruling and to institute laws that essentially bar ownership of guns within their jurisdiction. It is outrageous, and it must stop!

and how do they figure that I wonder!
I wonder if they also declared how much violence they advocate to disarm individual citizens. There are consequences if an attempt is made. So it would be just prudent to prepare for the violence, the destruction, the cost of going door to door in every neighborhood, every town, every city, every state, the increase in hospitals, doctors, and nurses that will be needed…….to locate and confiscate every handgun, shotgun, rifle, registered and of course unregistered and from young, not so compliant gang members not just little old legal senior citizens…. Oh yea …they already started to outlaw gardening tools like machetes, and some kitchen appliances like steak knives……power tolls, chainsaws, and the biggest killer of them all ….automobiles.
We have to get rid of Democrats that’s what we have to do to save our Second Amendment remember that no Democrats
Bull s**t
Chicago is in this Democratic state, right?
Have you noticed that for the Left, one’s rights come from membership in a group (as defined by a community organizer) rather than from the Divinely endowed and self-evident Natural Rights conferred by every human being’s sovereignty over his or her own person? Therefore, according to the Left, rights are not Natural, and are neither inalienable nor self-evident, but are a gift that is bestowed as consequential to one’s membership in a group, and may therefore be removed according to the necessities of the group. “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one.” As defined by the collectivist, rights come from the collective of being “gay,” or “trans,” or “black,” or “female,” or “Muslim” or even “white male.” Each collective, however, is part of the larger collective of society (which in turn has its own needs) and the rights of any group (or member of that group) may be sacrificed to the overall requirements of society.
Yea ; Chicago proves it ; Yea right ????????????
Criminals don’t care about gun laws.
Right again liberals are brain dead
