Federal Appeals Court Says States Can Regulate Guns

By JESS BRAVIN, Wall Street Journal
A federal appeals court in Chicago ruled today that the Second Amendment doesn't bar state or local governments from regulating guns, adopting the same position that Judge Sonia Sotomayor, President Barack Obama's nominee to the Supreme Court, did when faced with the same question earlier this year.
Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court cited the Second Amendment to strike down a handgun ban adopted in 1976 by the Washington, D.C., City Council. The court, by a 5-4 vote, found that the amendment protected from federal infringement an individual right to "keep and bear arms."

There is noting novel in this ruling. The court has failed to establish rights for the state to control guns. The ruling states "One function of the second amendment is to prevent the
national government from interfering with state militias. It does this by creating individual rights, Heller holds, but those rights may take a different shape when asserted against a state than against the national government."
The above statement is without any merit. The ivory tower argument that pepper spray can be used in self defense is not enough to merit the ruling.
