Illinois Supreme Court Decision: Another Victory For The Second Amendment

It's disturbing to have to report on "another victory for the Second Amendment," but unfortunately it's the kind of warped environment we find ourselves in these days.

The ordinance banned commonly owned and widely used semi-automatic assault weapons including modern sporting rifles. National Shooting Sports Foundation

All to often, we are told by the anti-gun crowd that the Second Amendment is not specific about our right to bear arms. They usually try to hang their argument on the phrase: "A well regulated militia." So what better way then to actually list what the Founding Fathers and others said about our right to own and bear arms.

"I ask sir, what is the militia? It's the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them." George Mason, Co-Author of the Second Amendment

"A militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves..." Richard Henry Lee, Served as President of the Continental Congress and represented Virginia as its Senator.

"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." Thomas Jefferson
