The Constitution Gets a Shot of Adrenaline
The Supreme Court gave us all a break Monday with its ruling in favor of plaintiff Otis McDonald in his lawsuit to overturn Chicago’s ban on owning a handgun to protect his home.
The news and analysis of this historic decision is all over, so what’s left for the author of Stopping Power: Why 70 Million Americans Own Guns to do?
This:
O. McDonald has a gun, eee-yi-eee-yi-oh!
And Mayor Daley had a cow, eee-yi-eee-yi-oh!
With a moo moo here and a moo moo there!
Here a moo, there a moo, everywhere a moo moo!
O. McDonald has a gun, eee-yi-eee-yi-oh!
Add your own verses!

While I’m obviously pleased with this ruling, I can’t help but be terribly dissatisfied with a system that requires people to petition an elite panel of men in black robes to grant us rights that are inherent in each and every one of us.
Also, I’ll admit to being somewhat confused as to the implications of incorporation u deer the due process clause, v. The privileges and immunities clause. This may very well solve one issue, and open up many others regarding state sovereignty.
