McDonald v. Hm Adv

McDonald v. Hm Adv (2012) is a legal case that addressed the issue of whether the Second Amendment right to bear arms applies to state governments through the Fourteenth Amendment. Otis McDonald challenged a Chicago handgun ban, claiming it violated his rights. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in his favor, stating that the Second Amendment is indeed applicable to the states. This landmark decision emphasized that individuals have the right to own firearms for self-defense, thereby influencing gun control laws across the country and strengthening individual rights related to gun ownership.
