The other view on the US Supreme Court ruling rejecting gun control


UNITED STATES: GUN OWNER’S RIGHTS There were shots of elation fired after the US Federal Court acknowledged an individual’s gun ownership right in the Second Amendment of the US Constitution. The Federal Court observed that the 2nd Amendment’s text guards an individual’s right, not just a group right that applies merely to affiliates of state militias.

Though many blocks have criticised this court ruling (including this publication’s Scrutiny section), the fact is that this in no way proves the establishment is anti gun control. The verdict of the Federal Court was clearly fractured where the bench of 9 judges gave a 5:4 split ruling, clearly along ideological lines. Moreover, the court also observed that all constitutional rights including the most fundamental rights are open to limitations of sorts and have to yield to restrictions in order to keep up a methodical and secure society. The ruling in no way means that one would now see a trigger-happy population shooting their mouths and guns off! Residents would still have to keep their firearms disabled and unloaded at almost all times – a move that hasn’t been received well by the pro gun lobby.

Even Steven Shapiro of the American Civil Liberties Union, that played an important role in facilitating the suit, confirmed to B&E, “We are still trying to figure out the characteristic of this court. Last fall, it initiated an antagonistic assault on nucleus doctrine affecting race and abortion issues. This year too, their decisions have not been received well.” It’s quite clear that neither the pro nor the anti gun control lobby seems to be satisfied with the judgement! One wonders then finally who won?
