In Heller v. District Of Columbia 2008 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that argument moot. Quote:
Source (PDF) That covers the 2nd Amendment within Federal Enclaves, but did not extend to the states. In a second case, McDonald v. City Of Chicago Illinois 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court decided that the 2nd Amendment, incorporated with the Fourteenth Amendment, extended to the states by virtue of two clauses within the Fourteenth Amendment, the Due Process Clause and the Privileges and Immunities Clause. Source (PDF) This means that "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State" is moot, on both the federal and state levels. |

Body count: In the last six months 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago. 221 killed in Iraq and Chicago has one of the strictest gun laws in the entire US.
President: Barack Hussein Obama, Senator: Dick Durbin, House Representative: Jesse Jackson Jr., Governor: Pat Quinn, Illinois House leader: Mike Madigan, Illinois Atty. Gen.: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike), Mayor: Rahm Emanuel, The leadership in Illinois - all Democrats. Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago . Of course, they're all blaming each other. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any! Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any! State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any! Cook County ( Chicago ) sales tax 10.25% highest in country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any! This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois . And he is going to 'fix' Washington politics for us??? The Land of Lincoln , where our governors make our license plates. But you know what? As long as they keep providing entitlements to the population of Chicago , nothing is going to change, except the state will go broke. And that is the exact direction that the democrats in the US Congress, led by President Obama, seem intent on taking the entire country. Authur Unknown |

My mother grew up on a family farm in central Illinois. As a boy, I spent a lot of time on that farm and thought that someday I would want to live in Illinois.
Now, I'm happy living in the flyover state next door and working in Chicago. |
