Supreme Court considers 'right to bear arms'
Landmark case on D.C. ban expected to have major ramifications
WASHINGTON - In a landmark hearing on gun ownership, the Supreme Court appeared ready Tuesday to endorse the view that the Second Amendment gives individuals the right to own guns, but was less clear about whether to retain the District of Columbia’s ban on handguns.

So they are challenging the ruling in DC? With our current make up on the Supreme Court, I can envision how this one turns out....
If you can't own handguns, what kind of guns can you own? That would seem unconstitutional to me.
I support 2nd amendment rights within reason. I grew up learning about and how to respect guns. My family owns a handgun and a shotgun, and I have shot them before on the range.
However, I do believe in proper background checks and that mandatory safetys be purchased with all guns.
