It’s Monday for SCOTUS ruling in SAF’s McDonald v. Chicago case
June 24, 8:49 AM Seattle Gun Rights Examiner Dave Workman
As expected for weeks, the Supreme Court is holding off its ruling in the Second Amendment Foundation’s case against the Chicago handgun ban until the last day of the current session, which is next Monday.
Joining in the case was the Illinois State Rifle Association and four Chicago residents, including Otis McDonald, for whom this sure-to-be-landmark case is named.
An affirmative ruling will strike down the ban as a violation of the Second Amendment, which the court is expected to incorporate to the states through the 14th Amendment. It will also mark the second time that crack attorney Alan Gura will have won a major gun rights victory before the high court. He was the attorney who won the Heller ruling in 2008, the case that defined the Second Amendment as protective of an individual civil right.
