As I keep reading stuff about the Heller decision, it seems the dissent cited incorrectly to some authorities. Basically, someone is claiming the dissent says that certain things in support of its argument about older cases. Apparently, the things the dissent says are not true. Perhaps, the judges that signed and wrote it, and clerks that worked on it, either did not read the cases cited or worse. See:

Obviously, this is political, and I care about it enough to follow it. As you could probably guess, I own firearms and am against a lot of gun control. However, I am trying to stay away from arguing. Please someone tell me if I am beginning to argue.
