High Court to Review Chicago Gun Ban

September 30, 2009
Today, the U.S. Supreme Court announced it would consider McDonald v. Chicago, a case involving the scope of individuals' Second Amendment rights. Speaking with ACSblog about the case, the Constitutional Accountability Center's Doug Kendall said that an intriguing question regarding the cases is, if the Second Amendment is incorporated to the states, whether the justices would consider incorporation through Privileges or Immunities Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Watch the interview below or download a podcast of it here.

Whatever the result, I do

Whatever the result, I do hope that the Court gives serious weight to the Privileges or Immunities arguments.
