Wayne LaPierre just announced that they (NRA) are filing suits in Chicago and its surrounding suburbs today.

The ruling was for the DC ban but their decision encompasses the second amendment as a whole.

Glad this went the way it did, but I was really hoping for a greater majority than 5-4. I just don't see the reasoning behind thinking a handgun ban is constitutional.

The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence - which supports gun control - said the decision would "most likely embolden criminal defendants, and ideological extremists, to file new legal attacks on existing gun laws".

it's just annoying cuz the brady campaigner is blatently stirring up fear, anyone who reads the documents can see that nothing more was decided than those who are upstanding and legally able to own cant be denied and any laws that prevent law abiding citizens from owning are illegal

nothing about registration or certification or verification

stupid Brady had to get shot if he didn't get shot, Reagon would not have signed that bill.

I dunno if you guys have read it or not, but this ruling is extremely vague. Gonna be a mess for a long time.
