“Nearly 13 hours after her 16-year-old son was shot in a drive-by, Denise Dixon stood beside the Rev. Jesse Jackson, pleading for gun regulations in the wake of the controversial Supreme Court decision that could threaten Chicago’s ban on handguns. Dixon said the community and lawmakers must fight for it. … Jackson called the Supreme Court’s ruling of the District of Columbia’s handgun ban as unconstitutional a ‘reckless interpretation of the Second Amendment’ — and one that Chicago doesn’t have to accept. ‘We must fight for the legal restrictions on where these gun shops can be,’ Jackson said. ‘We will fight the easy access to guns and gun flow. We can picket and boycott stores that can endanger us.’” [editor’s note: Ah yes, the existing gun ban is working SO well - MLS] (06/28/08)
