WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court says it will take up a challenge to Chicago's ban on handguns, opening the way for a ruling that could set off a vigorous new campaign to roll back state and local gun controls across the nation.
Last year, the justices struck down a prohibition on handguns in the District of Columbia, a city with unique federal status, as a violation of the Second Amendment. Now the court will decide whether that ruling should apply to local and state laws as well.

Right now while you read this, there are more than 223 million handguns in the USA. The number 223 million, is a figure that is fourteen years old.
Now that there are so very, very many, now they want to discuss banning handguns?
Is there anything they do right?

Bang!
Actually, handguns don't bother me that much. It's the people who carry them. So I'd like to see the Court take up the noble cause of banning people. The world would be perfect without them.
