Supreme Court Declares That the Second AmendmentGuarantees an Individual Right to Keep and Bear Arms:
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Thursday June 26 of 2008 that individuals have the constitutional right to bear arms, and ended a handgun ban in Washington D.C. This is the first time since 1939 that the Supreme Court has ruled on the second amendment, and the first time it has ever had to rule on the interpretation of "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
Republican presidential candidate John McCain said the ruling is ‘‘a landmark victory for Second Amendment freedom.''
Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama response was “that the court did not find an unfettered right to bear arms and that the ruling and will provide much-needed guidance to local jurisdictions across the country.”
