But it is the handgun that makes so many white males feel impregnable, as if they were riding around with a turret gun in a Hummer

Chicago to continue gun control efforts:

Chicagoans should be limited to one handgun for every eligible person living in a home — and gun dealers should be banned within the city limits — in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to shoot down the city’s handgun ban, the city’s top lawyer said today
