“Shooting, from a Little More than Half Court”

In a landmark decision today, The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Americans right to bear arms is not limited to state militias, but includes individuals right to protect their homes. This is a major victory for the NRA, but is a serious blow to the National Burglars’ Association.

The ruling overturns a Washington, DC ban on hand guns. While that law was in effect, DC residents were only able to rely on the Capitol’s traditional weapon: blackmail.

The Justices were split, 5 to 4 with the majority ruling in favor of hand gun rights, and then shooting the 4 dissenting Justices.
