Reading of "McDonald v. Chicago": 2A Applies to STATES! (1/2)

In today's show Attorney Andrew Branca begins a reading of part 1 of 2 of the 2010 US Supreme Court decision of McDonald v. Chicago.McDonald is the seminal 2010 Supreme Court decision written by the Justice Samuel Alito extending the finding that the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms is an individual right to apply to the STATES and not merely to the Federal government (extending the finding of the 2008 Heller decision against the Federal government, written by Justice Scalia, which I read here).As a result, the then-existing laws of Chicago and nearby Oak Park effectively prohibiting the ownership by American citizens of handguns in the home was deemed unconstitutional.Prior this reading of McDonald I had already read the 2008 US Supreme Court majority decision of Heller, and I will follow McDonald with a reading of the 2022 decision of New York State Rifle & Pistol Assoc. v. Bruen (2022) (entire decision, 7-part reading), which applies the Second Amendment outside the home.You can read the entirety the DC v.
