The case that has been accepted by the U.S. Supreme Court on the Chicago gun ban highlights a certain aspect of American jurisprudence that needs a correction.
This issue is discussed in depth in my new essay at Columbia Conservative Examiner.
Although it is a shame that things have come to this in the United States of America, the Court has a golden opportunity to correct a glaring error with regard to our gun rights.

Second Amendment News Roundup for 9/30/09
Focusing on guns, politics, and news of interest, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:
Western Rifle Shooters Association has a doozy of a must-read entitled, 'Living in an Imperial World.'
Vanderboegh reports that a group known as 'rainy day patriots' are going to take their protests directly to an outlet of the state-run media--CNN, which his headquartered in Atlanta.
Brigid blogs about home improvement at her home on the range. Take a look at that yellow tool. Looks like a mean firearm to me.
Robb Allen informs us that the U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case that will decide if the 2nd Amendment applies to the states. It's a shame we have reached a point in this nation when this is even an issue. We don't, for example, assume that the First Amendment doesn't necessarily apply to the states. I went under the assumption that the Bill of Rights--the 1st 10 Amendments--is protected for all U.S. citizens. Then revisionist lawyers got in the mix and introduced this thing called 'incorporation.' Geeezzzz!
David Codrea has the complete story and commentary on the gun ban case to go to the Supreme Court.
Kurt Hofmann also weighs in on the issue.
Ride Fast and Shoot Straight adds his thoughts to the discussion on the SCOTUS case.
Walls of the City asks a key question concerning this gun rights care before the SCOTUS.
Texas Fred presents a guest-post today entitled, 'Liberals are Killing America' by Alan Caruba. Good reading!
Days of our Trailers reports on the shenanigans of some LEFTWING domestic terrorists. Funny how you never hear about THEM from the present government!
The Rustmeister points to a fellow that has been designated by Kool-Aid drinkers as a member of the 'mob.' He should wear the title with pride.
Say Uncle has the bizarre story of a grandmother arrested for buying cold medicine.
Caleb at Gun Nuts recaps last night's edition of Gun Nuts Radio, along with downloads.
Alphecca reports news on guns locked up in cars on college campuses.
Sebastian says that the Joyce Foundation conducted a study that concludes gun owners are stupid. I would comment on that, but I think I would get thrown off Blogger and the Internet altogether.
Tam alerts us to the 'Survival 101' textbook. Good reading!
The Black Sphere has a must-read entitled, 'Kinder Gentler Nuclear Iran.'
Nicki shows us the undeniable truth which vindicates Joe Wilson's claim that Obama is lying about there being no coverage for illegal aliens in the healthcare proposals.
Way Up North provides 2 vital quotes of the day, one from Barry Goldwater and the other from Ronald Reagan.
Free in Idaho highlights some more lies coming out of the Democrats in Congress concerning healthcare.

GUN CONTROL: Chicago Worse Than D.C.?
Apparently the Governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, thinks that the city of Chicago may need him to send in the National Guard to 'get the gun problem under control.'
Blagojevich made the statement just after signing a new law requiring tougher penalties for selling guns to minors.
The National Guard?
What on earth is going on in Chicago?
Surely Chicago's gun violence could be no worse than D.C.'s. Yet even after enacting draconian measures--which the Supreme Court recently struck down--to supposedly 'address the problem,' D.C.'s criminal element exhibited absolutely no more reluctance to use guns in crime than they did before the gun ban was enacted.
Chicago has always been a haven for crime and corruption, even within its political machine. But the National Guard?
When an arm of the U.S. Military is sent in to turn on our own civilians, those Guards immediately become jackbooted thugs whose sole purpose is to beat citizens into submission to government.
I have a better idea, Governor. Why not prosecute criminals both in and out of Chicago's government effectively and turn the average citizens loose to exercise their Constitutional right to self-defense with firearms?
Let a few dozen criminals per weekend be shot to death by armed citizens, and perhaps your crime problem in Chicago would abate.

Second Amendment News Roundup for 6/27/08
Focusing on guns, politics, and news of interest, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:
David Codrea at the War on Guns would like to issue a complaint to a bar association concerning part of the dissent of the Supreme Court to the Heller case. The minority opinion cites the Miller case in a blatantly erroneous fashion, which shows the shocking incompetence of the Judge in question.
David also says that Father Snuffy Pfleger has pledged more public temper tantrums now that he has returned to his pulpit.
Commissar Nancy Pelosi's lunacy on bringing back the Fairness Doctrine gets a shellacking from David as well.
Squeaky has the final details on the Memphis blog meet, including a corrected version HERE.
In light of the Heller decision, Sebastian asks, 'What regulations are reasonable?'
My favorite intellectual, Dr. Walter E. Williams, has a thought-provoking column entitled, 'The Problem of Ignorance.'
Mike McCarville has some interesting stats on the number of citizens who are licensed to carry handguns in Oklahoma.
Roberta X blasts the latest drivel from 'bogus' professor Carl T. Bogus on his PSH concerning the Heller decision.
Freedom Sight provides thorough commentary on the ramifications of the Heller decision.
Gateway Pundit reports that a leading Democrat has admitted that the Democratic Party has no solution to the problem of escalating gasoline prices. No kidding!
Gateway also reports that a Hillary-turned-McCain supporter has gotten the boot from the Democrats because of her support for McCain. So much for the 'Party of the big tent.'
Of Arms and the Law provides a link to the website of the Chicago gun lawsuit. As soon as the Heller decision was issued yesterday, the NRA, Second Amendment Foundation, and others brought the lawsuit against the Chicago gun ban. Good for them.
The Volokh Conspiracy points to three key articles on Heller. And then there is an excellent read at Volokh concerning 'originalism' in the Heller decision.
