All posters are incorrect. It's an Inalienable Right, meaning a natural right. This dog and pony show shouldn't even be necessary.
When you're right, you're right.

That whining little *#^@^&!@$ Daley will be screaming that every time there is a gun death that it would have been prevented. But the problem is that there’s several hundred people slaughered in Chicago WITH its gun ban. Those who would kill not in self defense arent going to obey ANY law.
I also not with interest that Dickey and his family have 24/7 ARMED bodyguards.

It’s AKWAYS been a national right, Gomer.!!!!!

The Chicago mob is already thinking of ways to get around the decision.

Exactly. Typical liberal moron wrote that headline. Justices don’t make law (not properly, anyway). They interpret it. The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

They had better hurry up and do it before Obama gets a chance to load the Court.

Don't count your chickens just yet. The LA Times most likely is publishing this to lull gun rights supporters into a false sense of security.
I am fully confident that the Supreme Court will rule with the scumbag mayor because they don't want to cause a ruckuss around the country.

If the FIRST Amendment is a National Right, then so is the SECOND Amendment . . . and ALL the rest of the Bill o' Rights. Yeeeehhhhaaaaaa, Celebrate! I'd shoot a few rounds in celebration but I need to conserve my ammunition "just in case."
Now can we work on REPEALING the 17th Amendment effective 2012 and the 16th Amendment effective 1-1-2011? Please?

Amen. President Bush wasn't perfect, but think what might be happening here given four years of Gore or Kerry.

I dont think that an American citizens right to keep and bear arms should be infringed. Under any circumstances. Even felons, once they serve their sentence and meet the conditions of their parole should not be barred from having weapons.It was that way until 1968.

“Its already a national right. Theyve signaled they are going to stop the government from interferring with that right.”
True - the Constitution does not “grant” any rights. Being God-given, hey are not available for any person or organization to give.

“Im tickled, not only for gun owners and freedom lovers everywhere, but because this will be a SLAP IN THE FACE to Chicago Mayor and Chief Thug Ritchie Daley, who has been crowing all week about how sure he is that his gun-grabbing laws will be upheld.”
Hmmm...if it's declared unconstitutional, won't there be some legal/financial problems for Chicago, involving past deprivation of constitutional rights?

Note to all you "Second Amendment" whiners.
If you concern yourself with what some "Justice or Politician" says or the rules they make that takes your rights away, then just SHUT THE F**K up.
Those of us who will defend our rights regardless of what "They" say is law, will protect the very rights you seem to be afraid to defend with nothing more then mere rhetoric on your part.
ACTION always speaks louder than words. If THEY can keep you talking, instead of actually taking action - THEY win.
Carry your damn guns and let them know they ain't taking them away without a fight. Get some backbone!

Headline is totally FUBAR.
The only thing they can do is UPHOLD the right. Only liberals write like the court can ‘create’ rights. The courts uphold/affirm the rights we already possess. When they get it wrong they deny us the rights we have.
The right to self-protection/self-defense is inherent in the right to life. You cannot have the right to life without being able to defend and protect that life. Our right to life comes from God and we acknowledge that in our Declaration of Independence. We make it tangible in the Second Amendment, which protects our Constitutional rights and all the other amendments. We further affirm in the 14 Amendment than no sovereign state can deny any of their citizens any of their Constitutional rights.

Yes. Bush was far from perfect on several issues. We had to put pressure on him to get him back into reality a few times (Harriet Myers anyone?). Least he got it right with Roberts and Alito. Wish he would have used his veto pen a little more when it came to huge budgets. Let them have to override his veto or start over.
We were far better off with him than anything Gore or Kerry could have done.

It is and not a moment to soon for this decision. Crime is coming our way big time as the dopies will be breaking and entering into more homes to steal, I will feel bad about having to use my stuff to protect my wife and home, but not as bad as I wd feel if I did not
