The Supreme Court ruled today that citizens have the right to own firearms for self-defense and hunting.
It appears that most existing gun legislation will be unaffected by this 5-4 ruling, but the court declared the District of Columbia's 32-year-old ban on handguns unconstitutional. It was one of the most restrictive gun-grabbing laws on the planet, and made our nation's capital a paradise for criminals.
A Free Republic article reports that Mayor Richard Daley of Chicago, who maintains a 24-hour armed police security detail around his home whether he's there or not, is hoppin' mad over the Supreme Court decision.
