Supreme Court Strikes Down Chicago Gun Ban

[soccerjohn17]

heres the thing chicago, look at the states where owning hand guns and open carry and conceled carry is at, texas, nevada, arizona if you have law abiding citizens with a gun on their hip its gunna send a message to the bad guys: "hey fuck with me better be prepared to get shot cause ima defend myself " look at the statistics in those states compared to yours, just cause you ban firearms just means the good people are defensless the bad will have the guns anyways provin fact

[wolf1033]

People need guns. The gun banners didn't get before, if you are following the law, you are DEFENSELESS to criminals, who deffinetly DO NOT follow the law. Happily, they changed that so that it still follows the constitution. :D

[dsspike51]

Please would someone explain to me while the 1st and 4th ammendments are optional, the 2nd is strongly defended? TThe U.S. constitution is said to be the worlds oldest, still in effect constituion. The 2nd amendment will ensure that american law makers never completely abandon it.

[johncisney15]

IM GONNA GIT ME SUM GUNZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mercado391]

THOSE THAT INFRINGE ON MY RIGHT TO OWEN A GUN SHOULD BE PUT IN JAIL AMMENDMENT 2 IS THE LAW OF THE LAND PROTECT OUR CONSTITUTION THESE LIBS WANT TO CHANGE IT.I WAS BORN IN CHICAGO I LOVE THE CITY BUT THOSE RUNNING IT SUCK ASS..

[mercado391]

THOSE THAT ABIDE BY THE GUNLAW OF CHICAGO BECOME THE VICTEM FUCK THAT I HAD A GUN PUT TO MY HEAD AND IF I HAD A GUN I WOULD BE IN JAIL FOR PROTECTING MYSELF.SO FUCK YOU POLITICIANS.

[Verator]

Saying firearms in the home makes an individual more likely to commit a crime. Is like saying because there is a bathtub in the house the mother is more likely to drown her newborn child. That guy is fucking moron. Even if that asinine statement were true, it wouldn't matter because of something called the Constitution.

[samten10a]

What needs to be, I am sorry to say is need to impeach the 4 members of the supreme court that stepped on the intent of the bill of rights. It seem they have gone senile and forgot the meaning of the words -- bear, keep, shall, not, infringed. Not only that those 4 can’t - won’t look up the words in a dictionary to find the definitions to those words.

[bigbenusa45]

You know what I used to live in chicago. I made the mistake of loaning a thousand dollars to my fathers girlfriend. Her son tried to threaton me with his "gangster" friends when I hastled her over it and called her a thief. I had to live with these crackheads. I thank God my friend who is a cop sold me his .380. I slept with it beneth my pillow every night. It probably kept them from busting in my room at night to kill me. Still they tried jumping me when I was walking home from the library.

[typebhero]

whoa I know that Orlov guy.

[Blogengezer]

These 'on street' Mwdia interviews always seem to find people with wild Imaginations, professing scenarios that rarely, if ever occur. Magnify the Imagined Scenario and take over POWER. The Tyrants and the National Socialist's Media have used this formula since their inception. Bloodshed follows and hundreds of millions are eliminated from Earth. So Green so Environmentally Correct. Drastically reduce the average age, like in ZIMBABWE. Mother Earth will enjoy.... the Fertilizer ?

[MlZZOU]

I am sorry for all those in Chicago after what Daley and his corrupt council pulled today 45-0 come on. If I am not mistaken don't they already have gun restriction and high crime rates?

From the ban: "Calls for the police department to maintain a registry of every handgun owner in the city, with the names and addresses to be made available to police officers, firefighters and other emergency responders"

[gmcjetpilot]

Why a handgun? You can own a F'ing shot gun or rifle to protect your home? This case said a man needed a handgun to protect himself. I have a 12 gage pump with a 18" barrel; come into my house. You hand gun zealots make me laugh. You think it's about self defense? Not really, it's about being pricks and yelling to feel like big men. Don't get me wrong I think 2nd amendment gives us some gun rights, just not the right to own, carry, use any weapon anywhere. Some people are too stupid to own guns.

[ReginaldWorthington]

@gmcjetpilot

Maybe you ought to read the findings of the Supreme Court before making these crass statements. It makes you look pretty foolish, uneducated, and ill informed when you broadcast opinions based on feeling and emotion instead of using thoughtful analysis and reasoned thinking.

[gmcjetpilot]

@ReginaldW

"Maybe you ought to read the...blaa blaa"

It pisses me off when people spew passive aggressive sarcastic crap. Your POINT? You're not a judge, lawyer, law professor. I READ the ruling and opinions of legal experts, professors of law, judges. This ruling gives no guidance. It throws it all on lower courts. Your a dumb ass.

.

"It makes you look pretty foolish...bha blah"

I have two master's degrees and federally trained to carry a gun. You? You are an idiot and don't have a clue.

[ReginaldWorthington]

@gmcjetpilot

Gee, you sure could have fooled me...or are you a liar? I think you are the latter. You allege being a man of letters gives me absolutely no confidence in your ability to discern what is right. Too bad I "piss you off." Maybe what I say bothers you because it is the truth and that's a fact you can't handle. Go find a new hobby, loser.

[gmcjetpilot]

@ReginaldWorthless

What "truth"? Make a point or shut up geezer. Your posts are nothing but ad hominems. Not once do you make a point or debate me, e.g., "I disagree with you because..." What's your problem? Can you express yourself with out a spew of personal insults. I suspect you are confused. What is wrong with you?

.

I have to go, wife and kids are waiting. I feel sorry for you. A 70 yr old troll!?! LOL! Let me guess your a tea bagger and mad! Take BACK OUR COUNTRY (from the Blackman).

[gmcjetpilot]

@ReginaldWorthless

"Maybe you ought to...It makes you ..”

I KNOW you can't read. I read what I wrote. I didn't address this ruling, don't care. I said if you want to protect yourself you DON'T NEED A HAND-GUN at home when you can get a SHOT-GUN. Do you even own a gun idiot? I deal with security as an Airline pilot. What I said is YOU DON'T HAVE A RIGHT TO CARRY A GUN ANYWHERE ANYPLACE. Don't like it? Stay out of those places. Do you understand you dumb ass, illiterate emotional moron.

[ReginaldWorthington]

@gmcjetpilot

Thanks very much for making my point for me. Of course, under the world of gmcjetpilot, you would dictate how the rest of us citizens would choose to arm themselves. Fortunately, the 2nd Amendment and the recent Heller v. City of Washington D.C. and MacDonald v. Chicago SOTUS rulings prevent dictatorial despots like Chicago, Washington D.C. and YOU from passing such nonsensical and inane laws. LOL! Please complete your childish prattling. You folks just lost the fight.

[gmcjetpilot]

@Re

Calm down tin foil hat anti-Gov anarchist paranoid conspiracy theory racist. Don't like it? Tough. Move to Texas, get all the guns you want & shoot people. My world does NOT revolve around guns. You can't have guns on Planes. SORRY. When I fly troops there are guns all over the place. You'll be dead soon, with your insanity, barrel in mouth, pulling that trigger in no time.

PS I NEVER ONCE SAID I WAS AGAINST removing gun bans in Chicago or DC. You have the reading comprehension of a gnat.

[ReginaldWorthington]

@gmcjetpilot

You said: "You hand gun zealots make me laugh. You think it's about self defense? Not really, it's about being pricks and yelling to feel like big men." I correctly called you out on your rant and any rational person could easily see your motive behind this statement. This example shows that you do have a high probability of being for the ban, and that angry retort was merely a Freudian slip of the tongue which reveals your true motive.

[ReginaldWorthington]

@gmcjetpilot

Sorry but I'm still not impressed with your argument, your education, nor your ability to pilot some big aircraft and fobbing of yourself as some meaningful authority to spew out such offal. As I said before, why don't you find yourself a new hobby, loser.

[gmcjetpilot]

@ReginaldWorthless

You're 70 yrs old. That's why your mind is so feeble. Sorry. I fly Boeing 757 for a living. YOU CAN'T TAKE YOUR LOADED GUN into the airport or my airplane. Got it? Does that make sense to you?

.

I read what Law Professor Johathan Turley and Judges are saying about this ruling. The ruling is VAUGE. The ruling is open ended, doesn't set legal guidelines. What's next guns on planes? Use your head; don't be emotional. Again SHOT-GUNS GOOD FOR OLD PEOPLE. You can't miss as easy.

[ReginaldWorthington]

@gmcjetpilot

You also said " The ruling is VAUGE." If you pretend your are so educated, detail oriented, and technically competent to fly a 140 ton aircraft, you should have the skill-set to look up in the dictionary or use your spell check to know 'vague' is spelled "v-a-g-u-e." Thanks for casting aspersions on why one should trust your critical analysis on what firearms we should choose to use but I'll use my own judgment to make that choice. Keep your prattling up. You still look silly.

[gmcjetpilot]

@ReginaldWorthless

Your not 70. You're too insolent and immature, must be 13 yrs old, living with Mom (Dad split yrs ago?). I get it, you're rebelling and I'm a father figure surrogate you want to take your aghast out on. If you are 13, want to play with guns, join the Army on your 18th birthday. If you're 70, insulting strangers you don't know like Emily Litella and defending the 2nd Amendment is your hobby, have fun with it douche bag. Happy 4th.

.

PS the typo, you got me! Sue me ass hole.

[ReginaldWorthington]

@gmcjetpilot

LOL! Trying to make a guess as to my background with these oh-so insightful insightful analysis and defense of your kindergardenish rantings. My my. I was hoping for a little more scholarly comeback to back up your purported education and experience but you go back to guttural ad hominem attacks. Are you sure you are not posting from the Cook Country Psycho Ward? If not, please go find a new hobby, loser.

[RadarGuidedVermin]

@gmcjetpilot  You yourself serve as the perfect example of those you say "are too stupid to own guns."

[dcbama3209]

14th Makes everyone in AmeriKKKa slave (subject/person/monster). Your guns will be confiscated soon by the feds under the 14th Amendment!!!! This was the trick of all tricks, trick!!!!

watch?v=y4xV4MTnCdc

[circusboy90210]

Me owning any type of weapon as a law abiding citizen does not create more murders in the street, it prevents them when a home invasion occurs. It also prevents tyranny when the government wants to to oppress me .

[distressed7]

Mayor Daley? He was an asshole when he went to De La Salle Institute. He is a loser, who, if it weren't for his dad and the real power, especially at that time, The Archdiocese of Chicago, the monster, would never have even made it out of school. This Tio Hardiman, another piece of work, is now a god! Tim knows how everyone thinks. Tim knows what everyone who owns a gun will think and even do! Amazing. Do you see this lunacy?

Men who break the rights of man. Rights even beyond the Constitution.

[boxingboycow]

I must say HA ha HA HA HA to all you liberal freaks in this counrty who think that an object will stop people from dying. The second amendment of the constitution is very clear that the AMERICAN people have the RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR. Thank you for only wanting to save the rights that you take advantage of and not all of the American rights you fucking socialist pricks. /cheer the supreme court for once getting it right!!

[isawanangel2]

@boxingboycow i'm pretty sure the second amendment covers everybody, it's non partisan, but you should have seen colbert report last night, i lmao, he was kissing his and stroking it, he named it "momma"...wish i could find that vid clip, man that was classic, anyway..YEAH

[boxingboycow]

@isawanangel2 Where did I say it only protects certain Americans right to keep and bear?

[isawanangel2]

@boxingboycow you didn't i'm just playing devils advocate cause i know damn well gangs from communist el salvador/ms 13 etc will never give theirs up, i haven't check lately but DOJ estimated 150k of them in the southeast block as of about six months ago, and when the earthquake hit haiti and the prison collapsed they tried to reclaim their territory, thank god for the marines, but anyway

[dcbama3209]

Thanx to this vote the feds now trup the 2nd amendment!!!! The tyranny that you will bear will bo so serious...

[mrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrk]

Thank God! Those idiots Daley and Weis are probably going the fuck up the whole thing, though with their taxes, required training, and other restrictions!

[dcbama3209]

@mrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrk They didnt have to do shyt, the Feds will take your guns dumb asses!!!!

[boxingboycow]

@dcbama3209 The feds cant take firearms without 66% of the house, 66% of the senate, the signature of the president, the approval of the Supreme court, and then civil war....There will never be that many democrats in our government.

[fearfullpeople]

In other news, five people were killed today at an anti-gun rally when a madman stabbed all five victims in the neck with a tongue depressor. . .  Depressing.

[jbranstetter04]

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wondered why the right to bear arms was necessary to extend to the states. "[I]f the notion is that these are principles that any free society would adopt, well, a lot of free societies have rejected the right to keep and bear arms."

Roberts disputed that notion. "I do think the focus is our system of ordered liberty, not any abstract system of ordered liberty. You can say Japan is a free country, but it doesn't have the right to trial by jury."

Ginsburg got owned

[beancube2010]

We have technology to make bullets that won't kill unless deliberately or accidentally. And it can be tracked by angle and distance. It is the bullets kills people. Bullets that is made solely for killings should be banned at most civilian involved situations. Situations can be legislated into categories. Motivations of Illegally loading guns with illegal bullets should be judged or convicted seriously.

[boxingboycow]

@beancube2010 lol you moron if I am going to kill someone it does not matter if I have a firearm that is loaded with a round that can kill or not. They will die if its not by the bullet then it will be by blunt force trauma, from me beating their skull in with the butt end of the firearm...WHEN it is murder it's ONLY the fault of the MURDER EI HUMAN. To blame a tool or object of an act caused by man is just retarded. Seriously get out of your moms basement and take a look at sunshine.

[Warpath2198]

lol even ex-law enforcement guys are telling you they are stupid laws. Also the black dudes logic was flawed all to hell. That is like saying seat belts should be banned because people will put them on and think they can't get hurt now so they will drive recklessly. There is nothing wrong with gun hobbies, defending your own home and from what the history books have shown us, defending yourself from Tyrannical govt.

[Englishbobwv]

LOL "Allow", guess you have not heard of Separation of Powers.

[BlameRepublicans]

All you inbred gun freaks should be saying "THANK YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA". But you choose to ignore the fact that President Obama has listened to your moronic cry-baby agenda and allowed this decision to go down your way. I say we tax guns and ammo to pay for the $30 billion a year cost all these schootings deaths cost each year.

[MotionFrequency]

@BlameRepublicans What should we tax you liberals for keeping the government in check and to protect your wimpy selves. Obama didn't do jack but want to take away our guns. It was the supreme court that gave us the right. Thank God there are people that don't want us to be slaves and get slaughtered by drug lords. Why is it so hard for you liberals to understand that people feel their lives are valuable and we want to protect our lives? The cops show up 5 min later and you all hate cops anyway.

[Warpath2198]

@BlameRepublicans You are full of shit on your profile. Saying you are a disabled vet and your degree was funded by "VRA"? Liberal and military goes together like oil and water.

[Warpath2198]

@BlameRepublicans Who causes these deaths? Have ever thought it was maybe the piss poor raising? Maybe we should implement licenses for giving birth? I bet that would piss some people off and clean up the streets a lot. Then again you probably wouldn't have been born to annoy people on youtube.

[FantomShadowz]

@BlameRepublicans -Why stop there? Lets tax people that work outdoors because the sun is a deadly instrument. Lets tax people who use computers and cell phones because they emit cancer causing wavelengths. Why don't we just all work for the government if you trust them with guns better than citizens,as well as running a society better than the private sector. Good point, if your right, LETS ALL JOIN OBAMAS GOVERNMENT!!!! (America is already doomed just on the premise of having one idiot like you

[supercrazydave]

who would say that the 2nd amendment isnt incorporated into the states? Justices who supported the amendment from non-incorporation can only be described by me a traitors who put their political opinions above the law. The idea of safety is a red hering, as the majority opinion noted. This case was about incorporation of the 2nd amendment to the states .. not specifically about any handgun ban in chicago.
