"'The court was clear in stating that most other gun laws would be appropriate,' he said. 'In those cities you'd be going from an outright ban to a pretty high bar for getting licenses.'" ... -------

CITY OF BAXLEY, 355 U.S. 313 (1958) "...an ordinance which ... makes the peaceful enjoyment of freedoms which the Constitution guarantees contingent upon the uncontrolled will of an official ... is an unconstitutional censorship or prior restraint upon the enjoyment of those freedoms." |

TO REMEMBER |
Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any colour or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction. — St. George Tucker, in his edition of 'Blackstone's Commentaries,' 1:300 (1803). |
