As in evidence from the Supreme Court this week, the right to bear arms has been upheld!

I see D.C. and Chicago Mayors whining to no end.  The way both cities have enacted and enforced gasoline and tobacco control laws and taxes, I am surprised both aren't jumping at the chance to enact more of the same.  A few years ago, a study was done in the tobacco situation.  They determined cigarettes would be around a dollar a pack if you took all the taxes off them.  Gasoline is nearly the same.

If the same type of taxes were enacted, the money rolling in from "legal" handguns would enhance their coffers to the point they could hire, train and equip more police officers! 

I legally carry my sidearm, and the only two ways you would know is to ask me, or ask my wife.  There are stipulations as to where even I can carry the weapon, but in those locations, there are plenty of armed security I can  relax to some extent.

Daley of Chicago has been the most vocal in the time since the court's decision was announced.  During the time of his father, that city built some of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the world (i.e. Cabrini Green, Robert Taylor Homes, etc.), and didn't have the forethought to adequately protect those most vulnerable of citizens.  Most of those "funded housing" developments are gone now.  Mainly due to the deaths, crimes and atrocities imposed on the residents BY the residents.

Utilizing strong, legal and definitive identification of purchasers of handguns, waiting periods and other stipulations, the right to bear arms was, is and will be a great and defining addition to the Constitution of the United States.
