McDonald v Chicago is the next landmark court case for the Second Amendment. McDonald v Chicago was filed right after the Heller decision was released and is intended to incorporate the 2nd Amendment against states, counties, and towns.
Today, a date was set for the oral arguments in the McDonald case. Oral arguments will be heard Tuesday, March 2, 2010. We likely won't get the decision until June 2010.
"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." 2nd Amendment, US Constitution
For those that aren't aware, the Heller decision states that the federal government can't impose unreasonable regulation on the right to keep and bear arms within one's home. McDonald will prevent state and local governments from imposing unreasonable regulations on the right to keep and bear arms within one's home. A future case will address the bearing of arms outside of one's home.
