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!

screw them, come get mine,idiots
Ross Bohanon I agree completely. I was born in Virginia and now live outside of Chicago. Gun owner and NRA member. Like the Grumpy shirt. Been called that for many years.
It’s a hard fight in Illinois when Chicago runs the state. Everyone knows how well the gun laws work there.
What would you expect, coming from that cesspool??
Try to take my guns …who ever comes to get them will die..
Illinois leading the way–last time I looked Chicago is in Illinois. You have been so sucessful getting guns out of your own gun free zone. Americans will not disarm–and if the government trys I agree a civil war is coming.
They can pass all the laws they want, they will all be unconstitutional and good luck enforceing them.
Good ole Illinois politics. Glad I’m out of there.
All I have too say is$#%&!@*Obama and the Government. Karma is a$#%&!@*
Kick Illinois out of the Republic
