Sorry, don't have any more info, but just heard on the news that the Supreme Court stated that restrictive gun laws violate the 2nd Amendment. Lets hope this is true. If anyone hears more, please post.

No they just said they will hear the case.

 

The court said it will set arguments in the Chicago cases for January or February. The cases is McDonald vs. Chicago

Thanks, BC, I just heard it again and that's what I heard. Earlier I caught the end of the report and it sounded like what I originally posted was said.

Not everyone is politically savvy. The case Tony mentioned was District of Columbia vs Heller which was decided a while ago. Tony, the Supreme Court has just decided to take the case of NRA vs Chicago which may result in 'incorporation' of the 2nd amendment.

 

Incorporation is:

Incorporation (of the Bill of Rights) is the American legal doctrine by which portions of the Bill of Rights are applied to the states through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, although some have suggested that the Privileges or Immunities Clause would be a more appropriate textual basis. Prior to the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment and the development of the incorporation doctrine, in 1833 the Supreme Court held in Barron v. Baltimore that the Bill of Rights applied only to the Federal, but not any State, government. Even years after the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment the Supreme Court in United States v. Cruikshank, still held that the First and Second Amendment did not apply to state governments. However, beginning in the 1890s, a series of United States Supreme Court decisions interpreted the Fourteenth Amendment to "incorporate" most portions of the Bill of Rights, making these portions, for the first time, enforceable against the state governments.

Thanks for the clarification Dan.
