Tomorrow (Monday, June 28) will hopefully be the day the Supreme Court hands down its verdict on the Chicago gun-ban case. It's a case similar to the US v. Heller case, except that that one took place in the Federal jurisdiction of Washington DC instead of a city that was part of a U.S. state.
Hopefully the verdict will roll back the efforts a little further, of the anti-gun-rights fanatics trying pretend the 2nd amendment doesn't protect the right of ordinary law-abiding people to own and carry guns. The Heller case did that to the extent of verifying that a person could own and carry a gun in his own home, and stating that a person did not have to have any affiliation with any militia or other military group, to have the right to own and carry.
Little by little, the anti-gun fanatics and functional illiterates who can't read the straightforward language of the 2nd amendment, are being overruled and sent packing. Hopefully this trend will continue tomorrow.
In modern language, the 2nd amendment says:
Since an armed and capable populace is necessary for freedom and security, the right of ordinary people to own and carry guns and other such weapons cannot be taken away or restricted.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Supreme Court could strike down a key part of a 2002 corporate reform law and extend gun rights in the United States on Monday when the justices issue their final rulings of the term.
Politics
In eagerly awaited rulings, the nation's highest court is expected to decide the constitutionality of a national board that polices auditors of public companies and whether gun rights extend to every state and city in the nation.
Chief Justice John Roberts has already announced that Monday will be the last day of the 2009-10 term. It will also be the last time retiring Justice John Paul Stevens, the court's leading liberal, takes the bench.

In the gun rights case, even gun control advocates said they expect the Supreme Court to strike down Chicago's 28-year-old handgun ban.
They said they also expect the court to extend its landmark 2008 ruling that individual Americans have a constitutional right to own guns to all the cities and states.
