This morning, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision striking down an onerous and unconstitutional ban on gun ownership in the District of Columbia.
Individual liberty includes all the rights guaranteed in the Constitution – including an honest reading of the Second Amendment.
Anti-gun groups will decry this decision, but the scholarship in support of the right of individuals to bear arms for self-defense and hunting is simply overwhelming.
Attempts to argue for a more restrictive interpretation of the Second Amendment are second-rate and historically dishonest.
Libertarians of all types have strongly contended for a sound reading of the Second Amendment. The right of individuals to bear arms is a fundamental American liberty guaranteed in our constitution.
