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!

over 1000 dead in Chicago alone this year, Yup they have a lot of room to talk. DUMB DAMORATS

Interesting, since the Supreme Court says it is?
The only reason to take weapons from honest citizens is so they cannot fight back against a tyrannical government. Which means that the person or people behind this are traiters. They mean to steal the rights from the people and hurt and enslave them. There is no other reason. If they tell you different they lie. Do you actually think they give a c**p about you. They only care if they can make you work for them. And when your old they will murder you. If you are deformed and can’t work, they will murder you. And if there are to many, they will murder you. You are dealing with selfishness at a level that is inconceivable.
Fucking liberals
What a bunch of FOOLS! Haven’t these IDIOTS learned anything! Doesn’t Chicago come to mind
Michael Parsons It may not be our own Military or Police. Most of our domestic military is unarmed anyway. Then they’ll bring in UN ‘Peace Keeping’ forces for Martial Law Enforcement and systematically disarm all LEO’s and citizens.
think the NRA needs to take a couple k of people with guns and walk down to the court in that state and just stand there with their gun hostered and see what happens
