Supreme Court Tackles Local Gun Control Measures
The U. S. Supreme Court will decide whether strict local and state gun control laws violate the Second Amendment, ensuring another battle over the rights of gun owners.
The court will review a lower court ruling that upheld a handgun ban in Chicago.
Gun rights supporters challenged gun laws in Chicago and some suburbs immediately following the high court's decision in June 2008 that struck down a handgun ban in the District of Columbia, a federal enclave.
The new case tests whether last year's ruling applies as well to local and state laws.
