Supreme Court Rules Chicago Gun Ban Unconstitutional
The Supreme Court on Monday ruled 5-4 that Chicago's longstanding ban on handgun ownership is unconstitutional, concluding that state actions violating the right to keep and bear arms are no more valid than those taken by the federal government. Comments Cato scholar Ilya Shapiro, "This is a nation of laws, not men—a republic, not a pure democracy—and thus it is disconcerting to see, as we do time and time again with this Court, that the only thing separating us from rule by a crude majoritarian impulse is one vote. ...Today is a big victory for gun rights and a bigger one for liberty."
