ABC7 in Chicago Notes Point Few Others Address

The local media in Chicago obviously has been reporting a lot about the SCOTUS ruling. But ABC 7, WLS-TV, in Chicago offered an interesting point in its coverage:

“Gun rights advocates, who are reviewing the ordinance, say the law does not address the issue of illegal handgun possession.”

So let’s look at this point. The Supreme Court did NOT rule that criminals could possess guns. So criminals that had guns last week will of course have them next week. Even if the ruling had gone the other way, and upheld the ban, the point would have been that criminals would still have had guns. In other words, criminals will have guns despite the law. Isn’t that clear enough?
