"...Guns, can not be owned in certain places in this country, even though the Constitution, for the whole country, says that you have the right to "Keep and Bear Arms", and the Supreme Court has ruled that this is an "Individual Right"."

Doyle, although most of us believe the 14th Amendment applied the Seccond to the States under the "equal protection" clause, the Supreme Court's Heller decision applies only to the District of Columbia, as the case addressed only the law in the District. It is logical to assume that it would apply to the States, but the current Attorney General contended that the D.C. law was constitutional, and that the decision does NOT apply to the States. Mr. Obama felt the same way, until it became politically expedient to change his mind, chameleonlike. The Heller decision also allows for some "restrictions." No telling what they will make of that. It's almost funny that most anti gun laws were directed at recently freed slaves in the South after the war. Stan
