Gun ownership is a right

[~kev~]

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 - http://forums.fortress-forever.com/s...ad.php?t=16338

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

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.
