Court to rule on corporate reform law and gun rights (could extend gun rights in the US)

In eagerly awaited rulings, the nation's highest court is expected to decide the constitutionality of a national board that polices auditors of public companies and whether gun rights extend to every state and city in the nation.

The nine justices could also decide a dispute closely watched by some software, biotechnology and financial companies on whether business methods can be patented if they involve a machine or transformation.

Chief Justice John Roberts has already announced that Monday will be the last day of the 2009-10 term. It will also be the last time retiring Justice John Paul Stevens, the court's leading liberal, takes the bench.

Enough damage has been inflicted, can we skip Monday?

The people you need to worry about having guns already have them, because they pay no attention to the law.

The McDonald decision isn't going to extend any rights. It will remove an unconstitutional infringement on rights.

:popcorn:

are somehow more law-abiding than OUR lawbreakers? OUR lawbreakers are more law-breaking? Is this a new twist on American Exceptionalism? What a crock. Or are you being sarcastic?

Chicago is a city, not a country. Its borders to the rest of the USA are uncontrolled, so there is nothing to physically prevent criminals from bringing in handguns that they acquired elsewhere, legally or otherwise.

The unconstitutional prohibition on Chicago residents owning handguns has done nothing to improve public safety there. Removing the restriction won't make things any worse than they already are.

Chicago residents should be able to enjoy the full spectrum of rights and choices that the rest of us have.

About what?
