June 29, 2010 Chicago Gun Ban on Way Out, But Mayor Won't Quit

Constitutional Connection:



2nd amendment it states that a well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.



Explanation of connection:



The Supreme Court ruled that Chicagoans have the right to bear arms in the Chicago area after a decade of pushing the gun ban bill. Even though the Chicago area have the right bear arms, Mayor Daley is still pushing on to make the Chicagoans life of to buy guns harder as it is stated in the article. As it is stated that the court ruled that a 5-4 vote, five voted that citizens have the right to carry guns, while the other four oppose it. Thus making Mayor Daley to start changing the city ordinance, while denying the court ruling to protect the Chicago residents from gun violence throughout the Chicago area were already at work rewriting the city ordinance to adhere to the court ruling while protecting Chicago residents from gun violence. He then want to have everybody who owns a gun in Chicago names, so the cops will be able see who will have the guns on a emergency case.



I believe that taken the rights of people will cause a more peaceful environment for the Chicago residents, but eventually people will find another way to kill or people will start to leave the Chicago area. This will affect a large quantity of residents in the Chicago area, and in the United States. The reason being is because then there will be other states or cities who will might fight for the same idea as Chicago Mayor is fighting for, which might result in a nation handgun ban. But I wonder will the nation be better off without the handgun ban?
