To understand the debate over the second amendment, one needs to look at the Supreme Court ruling in the Heller case and the Constitutional impact it made. What is the procedural history of the case? At the District Court level, the Courts ruled in favor of the city of Chicago upholding the ban on handguns by dismissing the case. The case was then appealed to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. A number of other suits were added in the appeal contesting Chicago and Oak Park
Obama voted for the AR band and McCain voted against it. They were also veiwing different sides when it came to the Heller vs. Columbia case. McCain wanted the ban on guns in D.C to be lifeted while Obama did not say a thing. McCain also voted on a bill that went against the government taking the citizens fire-arms in times of crises’s. So as you can see from where they stand Obama is a little more for Gun Control while McCain is almost completely Agenst it.
The Second Amendment was designed to guarantee the ability of law-abiding citizens to own and use firearms for legal purposes (The National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action, 2010). Even with the current gun control laws and their supporters, there are associations opposing against any and all types of gun control. The opponents of gun control, such as the National Rifle Association, argue that the “right to bear arms” is their guarantee under the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America. This association also argues the licensing restrictions
The District of Columbia argued back that the Second Amendment only protects firearm rights that are closely tied to the service in a well-regulated state militia. The Supreme Court made a 5-4 decision in that the Second Amendment protects and individual’s right to possess firearms for self-defense purposes unconnected with service in a militia. The ruling struck down the District of Columbia ban on handgun possession and its law requiring that trigger locks be affixed to firearms in the home. I believe that an individual has the Constitutional right to bear arms, as long as the individual does not abuse the privilege of carrying a handgun. I would have ruled exactly the way the Supreme Court decided.

As the Supreme Court heard arguments for and against the Chicago, IL Gun Ban, this man offered you another stellar example of a letter (written by a Marine), that places the proper perspective on what a gun means to a civilized society. Interesting take and one you don't hear much. Read this eloquent and profound letter and pay close attention to the last paragraph of the letter. "The Gun Is Civilization" By Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret) Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force.
The 2nd Amendment states “a well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” B. The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in the December 11, 2012 case, ruled 2-1 that the 2nd Amendment’s right to bear arms “must be interpreted to include a right to have a concealed
But we can stop the it from affecting everyone else. On March 2, 2010, McDonald v. Chicago, Otis McDonald challenged Chicago on account of violating the second amendment. In addition, Chicago banned handguns; in return Otis McDonald felt that his rights were being
His commanding officer informally adhered to his request until one day the Chicago police department was short staffed. They then sent Rodriguez on clinic duty (protecting the clinic from protesters). He sued the City of Chicago under violation of Title VII claims. The lawsuit was dismissed because “the CBA provided Officer Rodriguez with the option of transferring to a district without an abortion clinic and such a transfer would have the conflict between his job responsibilities and religious beliefs” (Rodriguez v. City of Chicago, No. 95 C 5371).
The Supreme Court ruled that the right to bear arms applies to the to the local and state level. This lifted a gun ban that was around for almost 30 years in Chicago. This decision didn’t determine what kind of gun laws could be applied. The Senate is currently discussing and is in favor of expanding background checks. In the United States, there are over 300 million guns in circulation and this does not take into account the illegal production of guns.
