The McDonald v. Chicago case would determine whether the [[Second Amendment of the United States Constitution|Second Amendment]] applies to the individual states. The Court held that the right of an individual to "keep and bear arms" protected by the Second Amendment is incorporated by the [[Fourteenth Amendment]] to the United States Constitution in the [[Due Process Clause]] and applies to the states. The decision cleared up the uncertainty left in the wake of ''[[District of Columbia v. Heller]]'' as to the scope of [[gun rights]] in regard to the states.
