Please excuse my divergence from this blog's typical fare, but this is an important Constitutional case which turns on the interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment. Most will consider this a gun rights case, and it is, but the legal theory behind why it is a gun rights case is more far reaching than that.
I have begun gathering materials related to the McDonald v. Chicago case pending before the U.S. Supreme Court. Briefs, lower court decisions and a sampling from the blogosphere is included. My resource page is here.
The Question Presented is:
Whether the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms is incorporated as against the States by the Fourteenth Amendment's Privileges or Immunities or Due Process Clauses.
Stay tuned.
