McDonald v. City of Chicago

Dear Supreme Court...

Let me make this one easy for you...

The Second Amendment:

"A well-regulated militia, necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

The Tenth Amendment:

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, NOR PROHIBITED BY IT to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

NOR PROHIBITED BY IT to the States... ...shall NOT be infringed. (yes, that's a prohitibition of the states from infringing on an enumerated right)

So, Chicago, you can't use the Tenth Amendment to give yourself carte blanche for banning handguns.

If that isn't a crystal-clear, total prohibition on infringement itself, I don't know what is.

I'm a musician and computer analyst, and not a terribly bright one at that. But, I don't need a law degree to figure that one out.

Good night now.
