Posted By Administrator on June 30, 2010

I didn’t have a chance to post this on Monday but I thought it was still worth mentioning for anyone who might have missed it.

Excerpted from Politics Daily:

“The U.S. Supreme Court declared Monday that individual gun rights under the Second Amendment apply and may be used to block enforcement of certain restrictive state and local gun control ordinances.”
