Happy Independence Weekend all - and thank you NRA for destroying our basic rights - States Rights, Conceal Carry and any number of rights we had before McDonald. I believe that the right to keep and bare arms is as fundamental as the right to breath and live free and say what is on my mind - but apparently the NRA doesn't - despite their now panic cleanup mode attempt to assure American gun owners that their rights are still intact. Before McDonald, every state could decide things like Conceal-Carry - now, Congress can - and, well, since they got away with the Assault ban, it is quite likely, Conceal-Carry for all states, will be relegated to the dustbins of NRA stupidity.
Here is the essence of the whole discussion, if it is more important for you to have a handgun than live in Chicago, with its great culture and Blue bars and whatever, then move to another city or another state where guns can be owned - it is always a trade off when it comes to rights and majorities. Let's face it when it comes to self defense shot guns (which are not restricted in Chicago) are better than handguns - most people could not hit the side of a barn with a handgun when under duress - get a shot gun they hardly ever miss.
