The Supreme Court is wrestling with the issue of handgun ownership rights. Some cities, such as Chicago, have banned handguns. The Court will have to decide these two fundamental issues:
Do strict state and local gun control laws violate the constitutional "right to keep and bear arms"? And can an individual's right to own a weapon extend beyond federal jurisdiction?
According to Rasmussen, Americans have already made up their minds. Sixty-nine percent (69%) believe cities don’t have the right to ban handguns.
The Supreme Court is wrestling with a major case questioning whether Chicago’s handgun ban violates the Second Amendment, but 69% of Americans say city governments do not have the right to prevent citizens from owning such guns.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that just 25% of adults think city governments do have that right.
