SCOTUS Rules on Chicago Gun Ban

Thankfully, the SCOTUS ruled in a majority opinion that the Second Amendment is an individual right and allows for firearm ownership for the purpose of protecting one's self and property. This is the second affirmation that 2A applies to the individual and is not delegated to the states.

On another now, since the Chicago law has been ruled unconstitutional, Daley and the morons on the Chicago city council wasted no time in passing new legislation that further restricts gun ownership. Among the restrictions that are implemented in the new law are a requirement that residents can own no more than one gun and that said gun must be disabled when taken from the home.

This is yet another instance of the left thumbing their noses at the rulings of SCOTUS. One must wonder how much money the residents of Chicago have spent on defending the agenda of their mayor and council. Do those in charge really think that this latest law won't end up being overturned as well?
