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!
New restrictions on guns, page 2:
The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
So suck it demoscum… Come try and take them. You will die.
I’m an American Patriot, I will not die on my knees, you will have to take me from my pile of spent casings.
#APU
STATE DOES NOT OVERRULE FEDERAL IN THIS INSTANCE
I always believed Illinois to be a communist state anyway
Shall not be infringed
Exactly what part of “shall not infringe” do they NOT understand???
READ THE Constitution morons!!! Learn history and the many reasons why the Bill of Rights was included and in fact demanded to be included in the Constitution BEFORE it would be RATIFIED. Do you even know what has happened when the only ones armed were and/or the government : Holocaust and even Genocide of those under a government’s rule. Oh not to mention other crimes against humanity.
The left always lies. It is an individual right.
F**k them and their bureaucratic b******t
Fascist Chicago morons running the entire state. That’s why I left. So, I don’t really care how unconstitutional their resolutions are. For those still there, good luck.
Come and try to take mine bitches
