The NRA strongly disagrees with yesterday's decision issued by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, holding that the Second Amendment does not apply to state and local governments.

What???? I ain't no constitutional scholar but did the SCOTUS recently rule *exactly* the opposite in the Heller case?

Lawyers...enlighten me here.

Not sure whats happening on this thread. Lots of people supporting the normal interpretation of the 2nd amendment. a few here seem to be saying that state has the right to ban guns completely if they want despite the 2nd amendment. Not sure what their real agenda is. Maybe a misguided understanding of the concept of overturning Roe-vs-Wade and leaving that to the states? Apples and oranges there because 2nd is clearly in the constitution, Roe isn’t.
