Ken Blackwell, who lost the 2006 race for Governor against Ted Strickland in 2006, wrote a compelling article about the Second Amendment District Court decision out of Washington D.C. One of the best points Blackwell makes in his article is that this case could swing the debate over gun rights either way. A decision by the United States Supreme Court that upholds the D.C. ruling would empower the long held belief that an individual's right to owning and possessing a firearm shall not be infringed. On the flip side, should the United States Supreme Court render a watered down or anti-gun decision gun control could run rampant across the United States with only case precedent and state constitutions providing minimal protections. From the article: Every American should care about this case, and every American should hope the Supreme Court clearly reaffirms this fundamental right guaranteed by the Second Amendment. |
