Supreme court defends right of US citizens to live on terrifying streets

The US Supreme court has upheld the constitutional right to bear arms after Chicago tried to ban handguns in a feeble attempt to stop people getting murdered all of the time.
The US’s highest court ruled by 5-4 that a ban on handgun ownership in the city of Chicago was unconstitutional, and that all US citizens had the right to be just seconds from flipping out and indiscriminately killing everyone around them.
The judges ruling explained, “A well-armed militia is ingrained in our constitution - and clearly it works, I mean how many times have we been invaded in the last couple of hundred years? Hmmm?”
Gun enthusiast Chuck Spielberg told reporters, “It’s about personal freedoms, and I would happily die for your right to own the weapons with which you could happily kill me if you wanted to.”
“So what if a dozen or so people get murdered every day in America using guns that could easily be banned. Those murderers are merely exercising their second amendments rights as enshrined in the constitution.”
“As far as I’m concerned, a few thousand preventable deaths is a price worth paying to allow people to exercise their constitutional right to make our country a terrifying place to live.”
Democracy
Chairman of the National Rifle Association Charlton Heston said, “This is a great day for American democracy - the feeling of finely crafted, fully loaded cold hard steel in your hand is what makes this country what it is. Murder capital of the western world.”
“The framers of our constitution clearly wanted me to be packing heat three hundred years later, and I am not so arrogant as to assume I know better than some men who would have shit themselves at the mere sight of an aeroplane.”
“In fact, I own more guns that I can carry at any one time, such is my complete dedication to the type of democracy the envisaged.”
“You have to remember that guns don’t kill people, guns just make it extremely easy for some people to kill other people whilst accidentally killing some other people in the crossfire.”

Would it really make people more terrified or more cautious? Chicago had 52 shootings in a two week period. Some residents,including an 80 year old man, shot the repeat felon who broke into his house. Also when you take a concealed hand gun class they teach you NOT to shoot your gun. You don't hear of any person who has been given a CHL getting road rage and shooting someone.

On a personal note you try to harm me, my family, or my house you will be going to meet your maker.

So the constitution guarantees my right to own 6 Uzi's, 1 LARS rocket launcher, 17 grenades and a 357 magnum?

Because it says I have a right to keep and bear arms. It doesn't say anything at all about what size arms or how many. So why is it constitutional to restrict the type of arms I can have?

Answer my question. If the constitution guarantees my right to keep and bear arms, then why are there ANY restrictions?
Why can't I open carry into the post office?
Why can't I own a machine gun?
Why can't I carry into a Federal building, isn't the federal government supposed to protect my constitutional rights?


Why aren't you Republicans pissed that the federal government is taking away state rights with this ruling?

i thought Charlton Heston was Ok in Planet of the apes

If this was not intended on being a funny comment, Charlton Heston was a pro-gun hero of the NRA.

You planning for the revolution?

The constitution is pretty clear

I am surprised you are confused

Has anybody here said they were against all gun regulations?

You completely missed my point... The constitution is NOT clear on this. You cannot be clear on gun ownership with one sentence. The founding fathers knew this, they knew they were setting up a framework from which future generations would interpret as needed to accommodate their circumstances.
If you want to be 100% literal in what the second amendment says, then I have a RIGHT to keep/own and bear/carry ANY arms I wish to since they did not explicitly spell out what I can and cannot carry. The second amendment does not say I can only bear certain types of arms nor does it say that the government can keep me from bearing/carrying them in certain places.

So if you want to be literal with the 2nd amendment, then you should be 100% for the right of EVERYONE to carry ANY type of arms ANYWHERE at ANYTIME. And if you are not for this, then you are excepting the fact that laws can be passed to regulate the 2nd amendment.

I believe that the 2nd amendment protects us gun owners from the federal government from taking everyones guns. But I also believe that each and every state/city has the right to set their own set of rules and regulations. The gun laws in Montana would be completely different than those in Manhattan.

Why can't I open carry into the post office? I believe you should.
Why can't I own a machine gun? I believe you should.
Why can't I carry into a Federal building, isn't the federal government supposed to protect my constitutional rights? I believe you should.


Why aren't you Republicans pissed that the federal government is taking away state rights with this ruling? Exactly what rights does this ruling take away?

The SCOTUS struck down the city law that prohibited gun ownership. Do you think a city should be allowed to ban its residents from owning guns and keeping them in their homes?
