The way I see it, the government that was arrogant and ignorant enough to disarm its own citizens, yet corrupt and weak enough to enable the mushrooming of drug cartels can't be trusted to protect its own law enforcement, let alone the general population...

Which translates into "who lives by the sword will die by it"....and I agree with the ancient wisdom behind these words. Therefore, if someone threatens me with a sword, I'll shove it down his/hers throat or die trying...

The opinion by the three-judge panel can be found here. This is the first ruling by a federal appeals court to extend the Second Amendment to the state and local level. Several cases on the same issue are now awaiting a ruling by the Seventh Circuit Court.
