Oz Media Jumps on SCOTUS Ruling

Australia has very strict gun control rules, so no surprise that the reporters down under reacted as they did to the Supreme Court ruling. But this just shows how misunderstood gun laws are in America. The Sydney Morning Herald offered this take:

“The ruling was a blow to the mayor of Chicago, Richard Daley, who has long campaigned against the prevalence of guns on Chicago’s streets. The nation’s third-largest city passed its ordinance in 1982, the only blanket ban in the nation, seven years before Mr Daley was elected.”

Interesting to note that the authors took the side of Daley, a typical Chicago loud mouth politico rather than those would actually need guns to defend themselves from the type of scum that Daley can’t (or just won’t) get off the streets of the Windy City.
