MSM editorial: repeal the Second Amendment

Not surprisingly, the MSM is going crazier than a Reynolds Wrap vendor at a Kos convention over the Supreme Court’s upholding the Second Amendment last week.  The Chicago fishwrap penned an editorial calling for a repeal of the Second Amendment, which they acknowledge will never happen.  Details here.

But here is probably the line that annoyed me the most from that editorial:

The damage in this ruling is that it takes a significant public policy issue out of the hands of citizens. The people of Washington no longer have the authority to decide that, as a matter of public safety, they will prohibit handgun possession within their borders.

The left just doesn’t get it, do they?  It doesn’t amount to a fart in a whirlwind what the residents of a city or state want if the end result is a trampling on the Constitution!  This is a nation of laws, and the supreme law of our land is the United States Constitution.  We are not a democracy, but we are a constitutional republic.  That may suck for the Chicago fishwrap newsroom, but it’s good news for normal America.
