I seem to remember hearing something about violent crime tripling in UK after the gun ban.
And I agree its about time that the SC took up this case. I am however a little worried at the same time.
The 2nd amendment was meant as a means for the citizenry to protect itself/act as a check against an overbearing government. Obviously as such I think it should stand that the citizenry shouldn't be disallowed guns as long as the amendment stands (not that I'm advocating anti-tank uranium depleted sub machine guns..). BUt what happens if the SC rules in favor of the ban? What purpose does the 2nd amendment serve if people can't carry handguns? Not that it matters much anyway, any weapons the citizenry has are far outgunned by anything the government has.
