Guns

Well, it's about time. Finally the Supreme Court ruled on the Second Amendment and the ownership of guns. Quoted from a New York Times article, Justices Rule for Individual Gun Rights,

"Justice Anthony Scalia, writing for the majority in the landmark 5-to-4 decision, said the Constitution does not allow “the absolute prohibition of handguns held and used for self-defense in the home.” In so declaring, the majority found that a gun-control law in the nation’s capital went too far by making it nearly impossible to own a handgun."

What took so long anyway?

Unsurprisingly, the GOP was quick to remind the public of Barack Obama's anti-gun stance on the DC gun ban noting last year, "Obama believes the D.C. handgun law is constitutional." Way to be, Obama--you're willing to meet with dictators, but you won't let American's use the Second Amendment.
