The US Supreme Court issued a landmark decision Thursday on the Second Amendment. It will be the first of many striking down unconstitutional ban on handguns, primarily in large cities.

Rights Boy's good friend Mr. Clean commented on the ruling on the Des Moines Register website.

I read this argument a couple of times that this decision 'won't change much.' That's true for this one decision in DC re: federal law only, but this will set up dominoes for NRA lawsuits in Chicago, Detroit and other cities and with unconstitutional bans.

This decision will change A LOT. No more nonsense about self-defense just being privy of militias or other civil authority (or criminals) You as a 'people' have a RIGHT to defend yourself, and the government's only interest should be to keep dangerous weapons out of the hands of felons and the gun-challenged.

In a truly free society, there is always the potential of danger lurking about. That's one of the prices of liberty. The government should NEVER infringe on constitutional rights in the name of security. The government is the one you need to be afraid of.

It never seems to get through to some people that the highest crime rates are where the strongest restrictions exist. And while Giuliani takes credit for lowering the crime rate in NY with gun bans, the fact is, violent crime went down statistically in ALL major cities in the 90s, even in cities with no restrictions, for a variety of reasons, and NY was right in the middle of the pack. There were NO extraordinary good results from the NY or DC gun restrictions. Just the opposite.

Here's another good reason to have a gun. Adrenalin-laced cops in paramilitary gear, kicking down doors in the middle of the night with no-knock raids, shooting the dog, shooting anything that moves. And then realize they are in the wrong street. Happens too frequently, and it's accelerating.

You ought to inventory the military gear showered on local police forces in the 15 years. You wouldn't recognize Barney Fife in Mayberry anymore. Dude looks like GI Joe now. And he doesn't need his one little bullet in his pocket anymore. He has an AK-47 and a bazooka.
