Violence Policy Center Legislative Director Kristen Rand issued the following statement:This is the best...oh! oh! This is the best line ever written in the English language, if you like turning words on their widdle heads...
"People will die because of this decision. It is a victory only for the gun lobby and America's fading firearms industry. The inevitable tide of frivolous pro-gun litigation destined to follow will force cities, counties, and states to expend scarce resources to defend longstanding, effective public safety laws. The gun lobby and gunmakers are seeking nothing less than the complete dismantling of our nation's gun laws in a cynical effort to try and stem the long-term drop in gun ownership and save the dwindling gun industry. The 30,000 lives claimed annually by gun violence and the families destroyed in the wake of mass shootings and murder-suicides mean little to the gun lobby and the firearm manufacturers it protects.
"It is our hope that Chicago's citizens will follow the lead of the residents of the District of Columbia--who were stripped of their handgun ban in the wake of the Supreme Court's June 2008 decision in District of Columbia v. Heller.'The citizens' of DC are 'stripped' of their gun ban! Dig it! Like anybody asked the citizens whether they wanted to continue being forbidden to own an object. Yes, I remember with a sad little sigh the day I was stripped of the company of my evil stepmother. Gosh, I miss her...
Oh, there's so much to say. But it's all snark against VPC in particular and gungrabbers in general because I don't really care about the actual decision of five of the nine Nazgul, so I'll keep it to myself lest others prefer to celebrate.
But as Tam said,
Is there any wine sweeter than the tears of Mayor Daley?
ETA: Helmke's take on this is precious. Reminds me of a couple of kids playing "war:"
Kid 1: I shot you! You're dead!
Kid 2: Am not! You missed!

Kristen Rand has earned her living with the Anti-Self Defense or Gun Confiscation Lobby for at least 15 years, perhaps longer.
From managing "studies" at Harbor View Medical Center that were manipulated to show what shadowy groups like the appropriately named Violence Policy Center wanted, to being hired to work for them as a reward for her activities, she can always be counted on for her fascist views.
Rand embodies the anti-freedom view.
The same old 'blood will run in the streets' boilerplate from the enemies of freedom.
I swear, it's like they HOPE for some tragedy to support their tyrannical agenda.
And how many deaths a year result from car accidents? Of course, they seem to be on their way to outlawing cars, but not as a result of the number of deaths they cause. Besides, don't the environmentalists want a depletion of humans? We're _such_ a destructive animal - how can it be anything be good if there are fewer of us???
Somehow, I don't think they're willing to contribute to _that_ particular cause, though...
Oh dear me, I fear the Supreme court will have another lecture coming from the dear leader.They are NOT following his narrative closely enough.

Oh, come now! Who'd be so ghoulish as to hope for a bloody massacre, just so they can push their agenda?
(Consults history)
Oh. Never mind.
