JUSTICE ALITO: SELF-DEFENSE IS 'THE CENTRAL COMPONENT' OF THE 2ND AMENDMENT

With the war against self-defense currently being waged via the Democrat-led attack on "Stand Your Ground" laws, it's important to revisit Associate Justice Samuel Alito's words from McDonald v Chicago(2010): "Individual self-defense is 'the central component' of the 2nd Amendment right."

McDonald v Chicago was a case brought by Otis McDonald against gun bans that prevented him from having a firearm with which to defend his life and property.

Alito wrote the majority opinion for the court on that decision, and in it he stressed how the right to keep and bear arms and the right to self-defense are two sides of the same coin in the 2nd Amendment.
