It’s good they did it, overturning D.C.’s ban on handguns, though they didn’t overturn Chicago’s ban on handguns. Their decision upholds the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution’s creation of a right for individuals to "keep and bear arms" against any limitation by the federal government, and D.C. is a federal creature while Chicago is not. Yet the fact that the decision was just 5-4 is shocking and worrisome, and the common headline (such as this one by the ever clueless Associated Mess) reporting the decision, suggesting that the Supremes have created a new right, would be laughable if they weren’t indicative of so much ignorance. Not just abroad, where ignorance of our laws is to be expected, but here at home, where it should not be.
