To "progressives" the Constitution is an impediment to be worked around or ignored.

Must not be enough attorneys making enough money. Someone must have put out the word from the attorney’s union ... my family is starving?

While the Heller decision has resulted in handgun bans being repealed, it (unfortunately) has not prevented magazine restrictions, waiting periods, or "assault weapon" bans. Those are, by the current interpretation of the Supreme Court, constitutional.

“shall NOT be infringed”! That means by NO entity, Federal State, or Local! Nor by individuals, school districts, counties, etc.

Want to stop the gun violence in IL? Give firearms to all non-felons, the training to use them, and a decent Stand-Your-Ground statement. After the first few thugs get iced, the word will get around and the numbers will come down...

Oh yeah, that ought to help.

Here’s an idea, why don’t the police disarm the Gangster Disciples and the Vice Lords instead of law-abiding people? That might actually reduce crime. No. That makes too much sense.

This is the same mentality that ignores the fact that lower tax rates increase revenues.

By their reasoning, if they can reduce guns, then murders will decrease. Just like their reasoning that increasing taxes will result in increased revenues, which never happens.

So, if we can draw a parallel, restricting guns increase the murder rate while more guns reduces the murder rate.

That is why Chicago is on-tract to have over 600 murders, again this year.

I’m kind of happy they passed this ban: it will be struck down by the Federal courts, and then under the new Illinois law, they cannot enact another to replace it.
