Justices signal they're ready to make gun ownership a national right

A high court majority reviewing a handgun ban in Chicago indicates that it sees the right to 'bear arms' as national in scope, and can be used to strike down some state and local gun regulations.

Reporting from Washington - Most of the Supreme Court justices who two years ago said the 2nd Amendment protects individual gun rights signaled during arguments Tuesday that they are ready to extend this right nationwide and to use it to strike down some state and local gun regulations.

Since 1982, Chicago has outlawed handguns in the city, even for law-abiding residents who sought to keep one at home. That ordinance was challenged by several city residents who said it violated their right "to keep and bear arms" under the 2nd Amendment.

The case forced the high court to confront a simple question it had never answered: Did the 2nd Amendment limit only the federal government's ability to regulate guns and state militias, or did it also give citizens a right to challenge state and local restrictions on guns?

All signs Tuesday were that five justices saw the right to "bear arms" as national in scope and not limited to laws passed in Washington.

Hey guys, just wondering if you guys would recommend a sling. Something like this, but cheaper would be amazing. http://www.blackhawk.com/product/Dieter-CQD-Sling-wSling-cover-2-PT,154,1342.htm

Edit: Guess I should say that this will be used in the field with the military. I don't need to go crazy on a sling, I'm with the artillery. Just need something to hold onto my rifle while I'm using my hands.

You are right and then some.

Also, with the hopeful demise of the 1982 Chicago Handgun Ban, and my imminent 21st birthday in August; what handgun should I invest in?

Cz75b! 9mm

I do enjoy a CZ as much as any other guy, but I'd like a larger round.

And Neckbeard, you were saying 10mm is easy to come by in these parts?
If that is the case, a Glock 20 might just be up my alley if I can find one...

Birdmane · « **Reply #1226 on:** March 02, 2010, 10:57:42 PM »

10mm is like .357 in an autoloader!

Bren10 is where its at.

The Bren is just to Miami Vice for me.
