| Chicago gun sale ban unconstitutional, judge rules. |
| 2014-01-07 |
| [Aypee] U.S. District Judge Edmond E. Chang said in his ruling that while the government has a duty to protect its citizens, it's also obligated to protect constitutional rights, including the right to keep and bear arms for self-defense. However, Chang said he would temporarily stay the effects of his ruling, meaning the ordinances can stand while the city decides whether to appeal. Hopefully the 'appeal' will not drag on for months or years. |

| #1 In the near future when the Constitution is revised as 2.0, need to make sure that in it is this - Every pol who votes for measures that in the end are found unconstitutional should be assessed a 'point' just like a driving violation. Five points and you're barred from any future elected or appointed public office. |
