Supreme Court Sides with Gun Advocates, Extends Rights Nationwide By a familiar margin of 5 to 4, the US Supreme Court ruled that the Second Amendment's right "to keep and bear arms" extends not just to federal jurisdictions, but to all states and municipalities. Chicago's 30-year-old ban on handguns probably will be ruled unconstitutional. Rebecca Beyer, staff writer for the Daily Journal reports on what today's decision could mean for California.

Terrorism and tweets, hate speech and murder Just days before an election, Britain is coping with a rash of deadly terrorism, and Prime Minister Theresa May is on the defensive. And again today, President Trump has tweeted criticism of the Mayor of London. Later, a double murder in Portland, Oregon has revealed the ugly past of a supposedly “progressive” city. One immediate question: is “hate speech” protected by the First Amendment?

What happens when America retreats from the world?

Later, terror attacks in Iran and conflicting claims about who’s behind them.
