The Supreme Court handed down an important ruling today stating what should be obvious: that the Second Amendment, in the words of Justice Alito writing for the court, “applies equally to the federal government and the states.” Today’s decision in McDonald vs. City of Chicago, in conjunction with the landmark Heller case two years ago, should leave little doubt that our individual right to keep and bear arms applies everywhere and is a right for everyone.
For an interesting perspective on the significance of today’s ruling, take a look at David Rittgers’ article in National Review here.

Good news, but SCOTUS did not finish the job. So long as anything is left to the whim of petty tyrants like Daley RKBA will not be a fact in many places. We can be sure that Chicago already has plans in place to make owning a handgun almost impossible for most people. In reality little has been changed.
