    If the handgun bans of Chicago and DC were overturned than how can cities continue to ban certain aspects of firearms. Seems to me like it just doesn't make any sense. I'm pretty sure most of these bullcrap laws would get thrown out of you made it to the highest courts. I don't have the money to test it though.

    Denver is a charter city and has some exemptions from state law. The law has been tested and held.

    The lawsuits were city specific and the resulting case law was tailored to meet the arguments towards the specific city only. The Supreme Court has shied away from taking on a gun related case that would impact all firearm laws in the country.
    “Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.” Andrew Jackson

    A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'

    That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

    The Denver Assault Weapons ban is largely defunct, but their magazine ban remains.
