Back around the last part of 2008, or early 2009 there was a thread about gun ownership, but it seems to have been removed, I think this is the link, but I'am not sure -

It says that I do not have permission to access the thread. So I guess it was moved to a moderators section?
There were several statements about how gun ownership was not a right, and that the 2nd amendment did not apply to people. At the time the thread was going on, there were some legal challenges to the gun bans. I said that when the supreme court upholds the peoples right to own guns, I would come back here and post it.
Well, here ya go

Quote:
The US Supreme Court has restricted the rights of state and city governments to enforce controls on gun ownership.
The US's highest court ruled by 5-4 that a ban on handgun ownership in Chicago was unconstitutional.
Justices said the US Constitution protected the right to keep and bear arms for the purpose of self-defence.

So there it is, gun ownership is a right.
