Media Spin Supreme Court Gun Ruling as Loss for States' Rights

Don’t look now, but it seems the media have suddenly discovered a respect for states’ rights. All it took was a Supreme Court ruling affirming the Second Amendment’s role in protecting gun owners’ rights from state or local infringement.

Newsweek called the ruling “bad news” for gun controllers because “the right to ‘keep and bear arms’ in the U.S. Constitution’s 2^nd Amendment restricts state and local power to impose gun controls.”

The ruling found that local and state governments cannot simply ban gun ownership. It left the door open for some restrictions, but the extent of those restrictions remains largely untested.

CNN declared the ruling “a potentially far-reaching case over the ability of state and local governments to enforce limits on weapons.”

MSNBC’s Morning Joe contributors were devastated by the court’s ruling. 

These guys are SO misleading. After having been and met with thousands of officers. being in contact with literally tens of thousands of officers the vast majority believe that guns in the hands of private citizens is a good thing for protection and to cut crime. Statistics show that the more guns that are available to law abiding citizens the more crimes, especially violent ones decrease. The only ones who dislike gun control laws are people who want to control others. ~~ The Munz
