'The judgment is reversed, and the case is remanded'

With those words, the Supreme Court of the United States held that Chicago's 28-year-old handgun ban is unconstitutional -- states and cities may not make laws that trump the Second Amendment.

The city of Chicago is rife with violent crime. Last weekend alone, at least 29 people suffered gunshot wounds and three died. The previous weekend, the tolls were 52 shot and ten dead. Advocates of gun control point to those stats to support wholesale banning of firearms -- despite the fact that the body count has grown under the now-illegal ban.

So sure, Chicago has a problem. The Supreme Court ruled, however, that states and municipalities must solve their problems without violating the rights of citizens under the U.S. Constitution. Sovereignty is all well and good, but now a bright line has been drawn.

It's a good day to be a citizen, especially a citizen who keeps and bears defensive arms.
