Another Thought On McDonald vs City of Chicago

I'm not saying this is the end of all gun control argument but I will say this:  It is the end of any contemporary chance that the U.S. goes the way of gunless Europe and Britain. 

We have, essentially, won.  Guns will not be made illegal any time in my lifetime which means that we won't be overwhelmed by physical tyranny any time soon.  I think I'll drink to that tonight.

1 Don't count your chickens before they hatch.  Let's wait and see regarding upcoming decisions, especially in the Heller II case where the DC council has re-established a defacto gun ban where it costs hundreds of dollars to register a pistol and semi-automatic rifles are still banned.  Chicago says they will do the same thing, legalize guns but just make it too complicated and expensive to get one legally.

They are also toying with the idea of limiting the number of handguns per home to a single one and banning gun dealers.

3 I'm not saying enclaves of complete gun asshattery will become free zones or anything.  I'm just saying that the possibility of some de facto nationwide ban on guns is about zero.  They'll probably manage to keep their gun-free zones filled with corpses using technicalities but they'll have a hard time expanding them.

4 All good points. But there is one more, Moron Pundit:

You assume they'll obey the law. BIG assumption, dude.

But - Christ - I hope you're right.

5 Well, one might argue that them not obeying the law is exactly the reason we have this right to bear arms. 

I'm not saying I'd immediately exercise it but I'm not saying I wouldn't not forget to either.

Think that you're an optimist.  A 5 to 4 decision means that they will try again.  Not today, but almost certainly within my lifetime.

The real story for the week on the Court was in the dissent of the other decision handed down that day.  I read all 90 or so pages last night, and if what Sam alleges is true, then it just became that much more difficult for me to look clients in the eye and tell than that litigation is better than the alternative.

7 I've never been a gun owner, but if they pass concealed-carry in some form, though surely expensive and with tons of hoops to jump through, I will gladly go through the thousands of steps to gain that liscense/permit.

So hopefully this time next year, you'll find me posting around here asking you guys for advice on want kind of gun I should carry .

9 Gun laws are a good thing. It's hard to rape, murder and rob when you're being shot at and it puts homeowners in danger (of keeping alive, and keeping their shit). Please stop this unconstitutional and buzz-killin' madness. Peace.

10 @ConservativeInTheCity: "You'll find me posting around here asking you guys for advice on want [sic] kind of gun I should carry" Opinions will vary with every person you ask. I researched for over a year before deciding which model I wanted as my first. An excellent start is taking a firearms safety course. Some are offered free, but have no range exercises. Others cost around $100 - $150 and introduce you to many different pistols. Many courses can be taken without a license, as you are under the supervision of instructors.
