This Seventh Circuit opinion upholds current bans on the possession of handguns in Chicago and Oak Park, Illinois.

This after the US Supreme Court Heller decision, unfreakinbelievable!

The USSC needs to not only reverse this decision, it needs to come down hard on the 7th circuit judges who ignored their decision to drive this point home to the hardest heads in the federal and state judiciary, the 2nd protects the people from ALL governments at EVERY level that try to disarm them.

This after the US Supreme Court Heller decision, unfreakinbelievable!

The District of Columbia is not a state.

To overturn, does the USSC have to accept and argue a whole new case? Isn’t there a method where they can use Heller to quickly shoot this down?

There are 19th Century Supreme Court decisions stating that the 2d Amendment is a restriction only on the federal government, not on the States. Heller, in a footnote, mentioned these cases and said their validity was not before the Court because Heller involved federal (D.C.) law.
