Rising Hegemon
Ten people were killed and at least 44 others were shot across the city Friday night into early Monday, including a baby girl who suffered a graze wound to the neck when gunfire erupted at a Near West Side barbecue.
I'm sure James Madison would be suitably proud and think that is EXACTLY the freedom the Second Amendment is all about.

The police, who see these tragedies firsthand, were of course in favor of the handgun ban in Chicago. Oh well.
I note that the conservative majority on the court, despite their much vaunted "originalism" and "strict constructionism" seems to feel that the constitution is in need of serious editing, having effectively stricken the first clause of the second amendment.
Thanks to those brave, brilliant defenders of the Second Amendment on the Roberts Court, the next baby girl who finds herself in harm's way will be able to shoot back and defend herself. You would take that right away from her, though, wouldn't you?
What's wrong with you? Don't you want babies to have the right to self-defense? Why do you hate babies so much?
Dirty, effing, baby-hating hippies.
Meanwhile, in the location of that other abhorrent Supreme Court decision (just a stone's throw away from the Court, in fact):
"Washington D.C. Shooting: Multiple Victims, At Least Three Dead"
I never thought the (former) Second Amendment was all that hard to understand.
Then again, the (former) Constitution is fer pussies and whiners.
that baby has the right to pack heat to defend herself now.
when 'purity' is akin to anarchy.
This will play out quite nicely. Soon, you will see sily laws like possesion of a firearm while commiting a missdemeanor is a felony. And, of course, ex-felons are prohibited from having guns.
That raises the question, if said baby is packing heat and mom is packing the baby while jaywalking, was mom packing the heat too?
I can see how the founders botched it. What with "well regulated militia" being so close to "unregulated Tea Party" and/or "non-regulated masses."
meanwhile gun sales, ammo sales are thanking Obama for getting elected and making their sales skyrocket, so that the armaggeddon will have many many homes and garages filled with plenty of arms and ammo.
Oh, would they make a bang on the fourth of July if only we knew how to find them with our sparklers and bottle rockets.
