Chicago Gun Case
Chicago probably has some Crips and Bloods, maybe even some with no felony convictions, so leaving aside your silly question of whether § 311 applies to them, let's get to the core question, and the only relevant one in a gun thread:
Does the 2nd amendment apply to them?
Scalia just finished showing that the right to keep and bear arms had nothing to do with such crackpot theories.
Extreme short term memory loss?
Chicago probably has some Crips and Bloods, maybe even some with no felony convictions, How does one definitively prove that a particular black male is or is not a member of a gang?
Or should 2nd Amendment rights be withdrawn from all inner-city black males, based on their race and residence?
