    Does McDonald decision go far enough to fight race-based forcible disarmament?

    Again, as it did in the D.C. gun case, the court said the Second Amendment does not give citizens "a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsover in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose." The ruling also said people with mental illnesses and people with felony criminal records should have limits on their Second Amendment rights.
    Of course, the broad group of felons will be comprised of black citizens far disproportionate to their numbers in the population, and not because they're more likely to commit crimes but because they're more likely to get arrested.

    Discuss.

    (mods if you want this is general politics go ahead, just thought cause its a gun case its 2A)

    It's the same argument they use when they talk about the death penalty being racist.

    My wife grew up in poverty, but she never committed any felonies. I have a certain amount of compassion for kids living in poverty who commit certain "felonies". For adults, hardly any, regardless of their upbringing.

    African Americans will still bear the brunt of America's forcible citizen disarmament efforts--McDonald hasn't ended that. That would probably have been rather a lot to ask of it, though.


    Thats funny because Mr. McDonald is a BLACK man! So this is a racist ruling how? :dunno:
