The Supreme Court heard arguments in the McDonald case yesterday challenging Chicago's handgun ban. Early indications are that the ruling will be good news for Second Amendment supporters:
The Supreme Court on Tuesday seemed poised to require state and local governments to obey the Second Amendment guarantee of a personal right to a gun, but with perhaps considerable authority to regulate that right.
So local governments might not be able to outright forbid guns, but they could conceivably make it an incredible pain to get one registered and comply with all the rules and regulations, which some jurisdictions already do. Another reason to pay attention to local races.
