Supreme Court Grants Guns to Every City and State

Supreme Court LIfts Gun Ban

Bang the hammer, carry the ratchet, spray Llamas.. However they say it in your hood, now they can do it. The Supreme Court now says every American has a constitutional right to own a gun.

The Supreme Court just ruled that Chicago’s ban on guns is unconstitutional. As if there wasn’t enough violence already, the courts also ruled that everyone in America has the right to carry a burner.

By a 5-4 vote and splitting along conservative and liberal lines, the nation’s highest court extended its landmark 2008 ruling that individual Americans have a constitutional right to own guns to all the cities and states for the first time.

The right to bear arms, under the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, previously applied to just federal laws and federal enclaves, like Washington D.C., where the court struck down a similar handgun ban in its 2008 ruling.

Gun rights have been one of the country’s most divisive social, political and legal issues. Some 90 million people in the United States have an estimated 200 million guns.

The United States is estimated to have the world’s highest civilian gun ownership rate. Gun deaths average about 80 a day, 34 of them homicides, according to U.S. government statistics.

The ruling, issued on the last day of the Supreme Court’s term, was a victory for four Chicago-area residents, two gun rights groups and the politically powerful National Rifle Association.

It was a defeat for Chicago, which defended its law as a reasonable exercise of local power to protect public safety. The law and a similar handgun ban in suburban Oak Park, Illinois, were the nation’s most restrictive gun control measures.

“We hold that the Second Amendment right is fully applicable to the states,” Justice Samuel Alito concluded for the court majority in the 45-page ruling.

Great. Now cats like Plaxico Burress can shoot themselves into oblivion. This is gonna make going to the club hazardous to your health.

  • QueenStar

    Ok, I’m confused. I know the 2nd Amendment grants us the right to bear arms, because we can have certain guns as long as they’re registered, correct? So how was it EVER constitutional to ban them?? Makes no sense to me.

  • Josh

    FACT: Washington DC and Chicago had the strictest gun bans in the country yet incredible crime rates.

    Please where gun ownership were high actually have lower crime rates. People are less likely to test you when they don’t know if you’re carrying a burner. However they have no problems when the government tells you you can’t have one and they know they have the upperhanded by having an illegal weapon.

    I support this. Next time the thug on the street wants to try to rob grandma or break into her house hopefully he’ll be on the receiving end of a snubnose.

    Nope don’t need to carry a pistol to handle my business. Cowards use pistols.

  • drenk

    i thought gun related crime was mostly with illegalling acquired guns? so why make guns law stricter when the people committing crimes with guns arent going to a gun store to buy them…?

  • rj

    Sorry, I have to agree with Josh. If the bans actually worked, Chicago and DC wouldn’t have such high gun related crimes.

    This is deplorable!
    The conservatives talk about legislating from the bench when these a-holes have done just that! Now they want to beef about adding Elana Kagan as too liberal! So the only people allow to think and hold an opinion are the conservatives???

    1) The West wasn’t won with a registered gun.
    2) You don’t shoot to kill; You shoot to stay alive.
    3) A Person with a gun is a citizen; A person without one is a subject/victim.
    4) A Colt .45 always beat 4 aces.
    You do the math.

  • Erica

    this aint new, its in the constitution. which i disagree with. guns bring way more harm than good. it would be best if no one had a gun

  • cougar_lover

    well they should allow a special permit for felons who have proven to have really redeemed themselves back into society by no recomitting the same or any crime since their original offence. Like make them have to bring their gun in to check it to see it they match to any recent crimes and make them have to re certify more often than people who dont have any charges….since we all for redemption and all lets be forgiving to all walks of life with pasts that show they deserve a second chance, since they cant sing or dance

    If everyone owned guns crime would go down..

    I will continue to keep mine in my home for my protection and will continue to handle my own business on my own, dont need to fight with a gun but thats what some folks do.. but please dont come on my premises or its on!

  • blaxitive

    Why are people so arrogantly stupid? If you follow the proper procedures and pass a back ground check you can own a firearm. If you can’t pass a background check and you obtain one illegally and you get caught then you pay the price. What’s the problem? either you buy a gun or you don’t buy a gun! Who’s twisting your arm?

  • LaDiva

    @ dmo

    What the hell are u babbling about…
    I’m talking about them so called thugs who wanna victimize and dehumanize their victims with a gun. The ones who resort to fighting with a gun instead of with their words. Them so-called thugs are cowards with skirts. I never said anything about cops or the military.. Talk about a 360 u fool. I refuse to partake in the so-called protection of a gun in my household which is not protection enough considering the amount of ppl who have had ‘accidential’ deaths over a gun in your home. Obviously if a fake thug blows my freaking nose, there would be no point in carrying a gun as my azz would be dead stupid. And yes I will bug u with this God is my protector crap. God also said u live by the sword, u die by the sword… Get a clue moron.

  • B3 Fearless

    Wait a minute I need more information. Great they are upholding that all Americans have the right to carry a firearm but it’s already a Constitutional right.

    I think ppl are confused. Yes they upheld the right but more importantly I hope they established criteria for those who will actually be allowed to enjoy this right.

    I also want to know what was the case that occurred which made this issue reach all of the way up to the Supreme Court.

  • super goon one

    @dmo

    Fine then, only punk and criminals use guns. I’m not a criminal, and I never go through bad areas, so I will never need one.

  • EnkogKneeGro…..It is what it is……

    Citizens who know their way around a gun have always had guns trust on that but now a whole bunch of fools will see their gun as an extention of their balls and wanna be tough guys. I layed down my fair share of folks (legally)in my past profession and its no walk in the park mentally to take a life. In my younger days hittin them licks I’ve been drawn on and taken the pistol from the fool pointing it at me because I smell the fear and pistol whippied his azz with it. Please don’t think a gun is going to solve all your problems because without your participation is just some metal…do you have the balls to pull a trigger and possibly end a life, does the situation warrant your pulling the trigger, if you’re not in imminent danger are you ready to be prosecuted, the courts value life over property so unless you’re being assaulted you can’t shoot someone for stealing your car or leaving out your window with your microwave, bullets have been known to ricochet so who else where else is your bullet going……

    I wonder what they are planning for? Sounds very staged to me. Where are the anti-illuminati ppl on this one.

  • WHADUP

    High Crime rates, 50 death by gun in a weekend in Chicago = GUNS FOR EVERYBODY!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Now sometimes i think that a thug will be afraid to rob someone with a gun but i also think that instead off “askin’” for your money he will kill you before you shoot, simply they will kill you when they ll see you.
    So i think it’s stupid thinks of all the home incident.

    What this doesn’t tell you is that convicted felons can not register or carry gun. So as a result, please expect minority imprisonment rates to rise so that the “right” to bear arms is taken away from the very group who may need it most to protect themselves from an out of control crime rate and vigilante police justice system.

    I’m just saying.

    All I can say is that you had better be prepared to kill someone if you pull a weapon out. If I un-holster a weapon, someone’s getting killed. PERIOD.

  • Me

    @ DAYWALKER (THE DAYDREAM!!!)
    Everyone should have the opportunity to be prepared in that way. It’s the stupid knuckleheads that will cause the most problems, but, for those of us just wanting to protect ourselves, it’s a good thing.

  • Shynum1

    @Me
    I agree 100%

  • WOO WOO

    Its always been your right to bear arms. Its your constitutional right. States have been trying to throw stipulations in there for the longest especially for people other than (white). Its your right to protect your family and property{land}. If u feel a gun makes u uncomfortable then u better invest in a stun gun or some pepper spray along with a dog.. Racism and Classism are in full effect. True we have a good number of knuckle heads within our group but it doesn’t matter because it actually never did!!

  • Educated Goon

    I don’t like this..

    Expect to hear about more white people shooting black people.

    White people with guns is almost like a deer on a highway..

    And we all know how nervous & jittery deer are. Now imagine your average white man (and how nervous he already is around a black man) but now with a gun.

    A black man wont be able to cough without gettin his head blown off.

  • Educated Goon

    I agree @ Clarkekent3000

  • oldschooler

    I live in D.C., where almost every criminal has a gun or can get one with ease. Meanwhile until recently, law-abiding citizens had almost no right to arm themselves to protect their families, homes or businesses. Just in the past week, three shop owners (including a father and son) have been killed in broad daylight, in their own stores. This morning, in nearby Forestville, MD a man was the victim of a home invasion robbery. He was able to get to his gun and shoot and kill one of the robbers, who surely would have done the same to him. The reason for the difference in outcomes is indisputable. I’m convinced that one reason violent crime in the DC area is so high is because the thugs know that people can’t protect themselves. Maybe if youngsters growing up in this area knew there was a strong chance they might get blown away by the owner of a store or home, they be less likely to commit these types of crimes.

  • memchee

    Glad the gun laws are being struck down.

    Will always remember that guy in NY who kept getting robbed by the same young thug every payday, no matter which route he took home, until he bought a gun and killed him. As tore up as that guy was about having to kill the kid, he couldn’t continue to let his family suffer.

    Sometimes law abiding citizens need the protection/deterent that the 2nd amendment affords them.

  • oldschooler

    Also, it’s odd and misguided that every time there is a shooting in the DC area in which innocent people or bystanders are harmed (almost every day), a lot of people in this area protest to call for more gun control laws. In other words, they end up protesting against the right for their law-abiding neighbors to own guns to protect themselves. Who they should be yelling and protesting against are the criminals (and the people who raise them) who don’t give a damn about gun laws and who are going to get them anyway they can to keep shooting up the city like they have been. Those with mentalities twisted enough to shoot children up in drive-byes with AK-47′s don’t give a damn about gun control laws.

  • MAnnComeon

    @ClarkKent you coud never be MORE correct in your observation. Black folks are stupid in this respect. They seem to have this contempt for firearms because of all the ignorant N I G G U H Z who use them to terrorize the community with them.

    Many groups of racist white folk have been stockpiling huge amounts of firepower and ammo for YEARS for what they believe is an impending “race war”. Some are doing all they can to stoke the flames of one in our current climate with a Black President and all.

    Black folks are so d@mN DUMB that they cannot see this entire social and legal system has been set in place and administered for the express purpose of keeping us from being (or WANTING to be) legally armed. It is the one way of assuring that you maintain the trump card in conquering people. Thus, we are disproportionately criminalized as soon as possible so that right is immediately taken away.

    Like you, I have multiple weapons. I have licensed conceal carry, and have my home well armed. Furthermore, I do take certain precautions in staging and storing my weapons around the house, but at the same time my kids are well aware of them and what they can do. In fact, my 17 year old has been going to the range with me since 15.

    Black folks keep SLEEPIN’ if you want to. I know.. you’re just brainwashed. Hey, I hope it never comes to pass that something really goes down in this country on that level, or for someone to try to bust into my home, or attack me or my family.. because it’s definitely a problem then. In the meantime, I owe it to myself and my family to keep us all tempered, educated and proficient as far as firearms go.

    Most Black folks just love to shun responsibility though. Y’all better wake your dumb @ $ $ e s up. You are prey for the racists as well as savages in your OWN race.

  • boss

    @memchee: its kind of ridiculous to kill someone for it, just call the damn cops if you know you’re getting jumped every pay day.

    As far as the law, i guess they’re now doing that to better track those idiots that are commiting crimes with their own registered gun…. I dont think this law is changing much anyways.

  • bob marley

    read your history. we allready had the right to have guns. they take them away in the city and only the cops and criminals have them. why do I say criminal, if guns are not allowed only criminals will have them. a gun makes a little man feal big. but not when the other guy has one to. if more law abiding people had guns there would be way less gun related killings.

  • BAPE747

    @ Cougar Lover

    U know what the deal is chief. They need to look out for those of us that want to “legally” carry but w felon on ya past, it is scrutinized so heavily. Better to with it than without. Own one or GET owned by one. Hell @ least a shotgun for home defense if the government won’t approve of the handguns for felons campaign. See what they did to the STOP SNITCHIN’ CAMPAIGN, huh man?!

  • Reality

    @ Educated Goon, This is when the NAACP should re-educate black families on the importance of gun ownership. Plus start getting membership and supporting churches too. Re-arm the black family now. I pray Lord Jesus for all black people around the world. Let them awake and realize you created them. That you love them and you want them to be wise and independent. Also for them to be union oriented again in marriage between a man and a woman and extended families that help no leech. In Jesus’s name I pray Amen.

  • imcafeaulait

    For the record, no law that was ever for, or against guns EVER stopped a thug from kickin doors in! And also, FOR THE RECORD, when was the last time the NAACP did ANYTHING for black folks??? (REALLY???) This law was the best thing that couldve happened… and you know what I’m talkin about if you, or someone you know and love has ever had their door kicked in by some thugs with AUTOMATIC weapons. F*ck a thug!!

  • imcafeaulait

    AND for future reference, to all of you confused about why this issue is in question, just so you know, when the Constitution allows for “federal” mandate, that gives individual states (and certain municipalities) first jurisdiction to write their own laws in regard to that particular amendment. Even so, individuals have the right to fight (or appeal) a state’s ruling on a constitutional amendment — especially if it is allowed for in the Bill of Rights (first 10 amendments of the U.S. Constitution).

  • Ultimate

    Well ain’t no one ever said you HAD to get one but better to be safe than sorry

    in this case guns are for protection guns are like condoms you may not need one everyday but a time will come when you’re damn glad you packed one with you
