“The Supreme Court announced this morning it will hear a challenge to Chicago’s gun restrictions that will determine if local handgun bans are legal.
“Last year, the high court ruled the 2nd Amendment gave individuals the right to possess firearms and struck down Washington, D.C.’s gun bans.”
It’ll be interesting to see how the SCOTUS defends allowing 1 and not the other. (If indeed it rules that way.)
"Interesting" is not the word I'd chose, but...

Remember that Wash DC politicians continued the ban by redefining most handguns as machine guns. Voila! No ban on handguns, just machine guns—in practical terms, nothing changed.
Wash DC’s dishonesty, designed to squash the freedoms of Americans, should linger like a bad taste in the Supreme Court’s members’ mouths while they are contemplating the words to put in their decision in the Chicago case.
