Yes, its true. I was feeling kinda tense about it for a good half hour or so while I was listening to the radio on the way home, but the Supreme Court managed to do something right. In its hearing of the Washington D.C. Gun Ban, it upheld the rights of individuals to own guns in a 5-4 decision.
I haven't read the decision yet because it literally just came out. But a 5-4 decision? C'mon, this should have been 9-0 or at least 8-1. The 2nd Amendment specifically talks about the rights of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms. Its going to be very interesting to see how this plays out in D.C. as a city... and inside the beltway with the politicians in Congress and the two Presidential Candidates.
I'm sure there are going to be stories in the coming weeks and months of D.C. residents buying loads of guns. Ah.... freedom smells good in the morning.
