“‘Repeal the Second Amendment,’ the Chicago Tribune editorialized. ‘The Supreme Court on Thursday all but ensured that even more Americans will die,’ the New York Times said. ‘[T]he Second Amendment protects the right to bear arms only in relation to service in a state militia,’ added the Washington Post. Those are a few of many editorial expressions of disgust from the mainstream press over the Supreme Court’s ruling that when the Bill of Rights says that ‘the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed,’ it includes the right to possess guns for self-defense, and not merely a right to be armed as a member of the National Guard.” (07/09/08)
