The Left has declared an all-out war on firearms because of the American independence and individualism they represent. Hillary Clinton, the most anti-gun presidential candidate in recent memory, proposed a bevy of gun-control measures aimed at disarming as many Americans as possible. First she championed a ban on �assault weapons�, then a ban on �high capacity� magazines, and finally promoted the asininity of holding gun manufacturers responsible for gun homicides.

We just might be at another one of those crossroads moments in history, a time when the choice of service firearms for both police and military is getting a lot of attention. The last major shift was in 1985, when the government decided to go with a 9 mm pistol designed abroad and made here. Much controversy surrounded this decision, but that is not the major concern in this column. I guess it�s sort of a historical retrospective on how John Law and G.I. Joe were armed. Because their armament almost always follows the military and police trends, armed civilians often use essentially the same firearms.

While the Department of Justice has just issued a scathing report that Chicago police have �systematically violated the civil rights� of minorities in the city, the Second Amendment Foundation today is wondering why the DOJ hasn�t investigated the city for repeatedly violating the rights of gun owners. �In the wake of our landmark 2010 victory that nullified Chicago�s handgun ban,� noted SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb, �the city has deliberately dragged its feet and created one roadblock after another in an effort to prevent city residents from exercising their firearms rights. As a result, we�ve had to take the city back to court, while the Justice Department was little more than a spectator.
