"The Court finds that Carbajal-Flores' criminal record, containing no improper use of a weapon, as well as the non-violent circumstances of his arrest do not support a finding that he poses a risk to public safety such that he cannot be trusted to use a weapon responsibly and should be deprived of his Second Amendment right to bear arms in self-defense," Coleman, who was appointed under President Barack Obama, wrote in her eight-page ruling filed March 8

Law abiding citizens in Chicago cannot be trusted with a carry permit,but we can trust that dirtbag with a concealed pistol? That’s what she wants us to believe?

I think that the 2nd Amendment is just about perfect as it's written. But there's one law...or Amendment...I'd support. I'd support a law/amendment forbidding *anyone* who's not a US citizen to possess or control a firearm in any way or at any time.
