Amendment 2 - Right to Bear Arms.
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Mayor Daley has been forced to revise the gun ban law in Chicago because it violates the second amendment and the Supreme Court called it "unenforcable". It will be revised to protect second amendment rights ,but also to to protect Chicagoans from gun violence.
This article demonstrates the second amendment of the Constitution. I dont see how the city of Chicago were able to place a ban on guns in the first place because the second amendment clearly states that people have the right to keep and bear arms.
I personally dont think that the gun ban in Chicago was effective except for the fact that it made it harder for gang members to obtain guns. However, it obviously didnt make it that hard because this summer, large numbers of people have gotten hurt or been killd every weekend as a result of gun violence. I feel that the gang members just found other means of getting guns. I think this law only caused for the people who wanted guns for protection to hand over their guns, instead of gang members and criminals. However, this may have been a good thing in some ways because it is dangerous to keep a gun in the house , anyways. Especially if there are children living in the house. Nevertheless, whether its dangerous or not, under the second amendment, they have the right to keep a gun in the house.
