Refer to the cartoon. A political cartoon titled For Self Defense. The Statue of Liberty carries a holster. A copy of the U S Constitution is in the holster. The statue says "I have it for self defense." Caption reads News item. Supreme court strikes down Chicago gun ban. Upholds the second amendment.

According to the cartoon, how did the Supreme Court interpret the meaning of the Second Amendment in regards to a Chicago handgun ban?

The court used strict constructionism to uphold the right of the people to keep and bear arms and struck down a restriction on that right.
The court used loose constructionism to reinforce extensive regulation of arms by local, state, and federal authorities in order to maintain public safety.
The court determined that the Constitution’s Framers intended arms possession to be restricted to well-regulated militias subject to local, state, and federal authorities and that individual citizens do not have a right to keep arms.
The court ruled according to the Second Amendment’s original meaning that citizens’ right to keep arms was “necessary to the security of a free State” in the context of the nation’s historically weak military position following independence.
