US: Supreme Court to hear crucial gun-rights case. The Court previously ruled that the 2nd Amendment guarantees citizens in Washington DC (which is federal property) to have personal firearms. Now the same question will be decided for citizens outside DC. Those who wrote the Constitution intended this right for citizens in all the states, but the collectivists who now control the government have different views. We will watch this carefully and report result.
