N2  - Although gun ownership is a fundamental right under the Second Amendment of the Constitution,(1) it is subject to reasonable restrictions.(2) The City of Chicago's most recent attempt to define the contours of those restrictions raises serious textual questions about the meaning of the Second Amendment. This Comment will evaluate various provisions of Chicago's new firearm ordinance and conclude (1) that it is likely unconstitutional and (2) that future gun-control regulations will only be upheld if they respect the full understanding of the contours of the Second Amendment adopted in Heller, rather than merely satisfying its narrow holding.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
