In other Supreme Court news, gun control advocates were dealt a setback Monday when the Court effectively struck down the city of Chicago’s twenty-eight-year ban on handguns. In a 5-4 decision, the Court returned the Chicago case to the lower courts but made it clear that such gun bans violate the Constitution and infringe on a citizen’s “right to keep and bear arms.” The ruling will likely spur new challenges to gun control measures across the United States. After the ruling, stock prices of the gun manufacturer Smith & Wesson jumped over 5.6 percent.
