The Supreme Court Extends 2nd Amendment Rights to the States

The Supreme Court ruled on June 28 that the second amendment will apply to the protection of arms carrying rights at the state and local government level. A decision of 5-4 according to the ideology policy cracks the DC because the 14 th revision is the main factor to decide to expand federal rights to protected individual pistol It was determined that the 2008 pistol ban reflected. McDonald 's v. Chicago City Council decision was made officially, but Chicago' s 28 - year pistol ban is overturned, and other states' pistol regulation law will violate the law in the coming years right.

In the early Presser v United States case, the Supreme Court ruled that the second amendment applies only to the central government's actions. Unlike the rest of the Bill of Rights, the second amendment has not yet been applied to the state. In the case of Presser, the Supreme Court supported the state law prohibiting the use of weapons for "plundering and marching" with Illinois state persons other than regular organization volunteer militia. In the case of Printz v. US in 1997, the Supreme Court ruled that the Brady Pistol Violence Prevention Act was unconstitutional, but was not the second amendment. The Brady Act is a law named after Secretary Reagan impeached in assassination. Because of the violation of the purpose of Federalism, the court ruled that Congress can not require state employees to enforce federal programs.

Until the 20 th century, the US Supreme Court had applied most of the Bill of Rights to the state. The Supreme Court ruled that the Fourteenth Amendment (approved in 1868) requires the State to guarantee basic rights, like the first amendment prohibiting the establishment of religion. In other words, states such as the federal government can not enact legislation to respect the establishment of religion. Neither the state nor the federal government can establish a church. We can not help religion by law, help all religions, or prejudice a religion over other religions. . . . According to Thomas Jefferson, the provision for the establishment of religion according to the law aims to establish "the barrier of separation between the church and the state".

In 1876, the Supreme Court against Crook Hank incidents that dismissed the interpretation of the right to possess and transport weapons from infringement of individual rights by the second amendment. The United States vs. Crookshank proved a narrow interpretation of the Supreme Court's Fourteenth Amendment. The court upheld the defendant and claimed that the second amended national army was intended to restrict the actions of the Federal Government and therefore was applied to citizens or civilians. After the incident, the American people and the legal system did not place much importance on the second amendment provision.
