Supreme Court Throws Out Handgun Ban
WASHINGTON (June 26) - Silent on central questions of gun control for two centuries, the Supreme Court found its voice Thursday in a decision affirming the right to have guns for self-defense in the home and addressing a constitutional riddle almost as old as the republic over what it means to say the people may keep and bear arms.
The court's 5-4 ruling struck down the District of Columbia's ban on handguns and imperiled similar prohibitions in other cities, Chicago and San Francisco among them. Federal gun restrictions, however, were expected to remain largely intact.

As for this historic event, I have a couple of thoughts. 1) What were the 4 brain dead justices that voted against this thinking? 2) Why did this need to be decided by the Supreme Court anyway? 3) When are YOU people that don't get it going to realize "that laws against gun ownership only take the guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens and NOT THE CRIMINALS"? Sorry, but, there is NO other way to say it except, "YOU people are stupid and naive"! Thank YOU Justice Scalia for seeing reality.
