IL Public Housing Residents get 2nd Amend Victory
One of the most disgraceful and discriminatory forms of gun control is that which attempts to keep firearms from the homes of public housing residents. These types of laws are not new and many go back to the start of public housing projects. Does any sane person really think gang members, drug dealers and other criminals who live in public housing are going to give up their weapons? The real victims here are law-abiding residents who live in a constant state of fear. Of course, such legislation should provide insight into how leaders view law abiding public housing residents. PH residents won their 2nd Amend. suit in IL, to be treated like everyone else when it comes to 2nd Amend rights. This is an example of what happens when the rules are made by limousine liberals who reside safe neighborhoods and don't have to live in PH.

Illinois' U.S. District Court made a good call here. Their decision supports my own view that the inherited freedom to keep and bear arms is not a criminal offense, but rather an unalienable right to personal defense.
