I'm not going to comment on it, but if anyone wants to see it, the Supreme Court opinion in on the 2nd Amendment is available, here:

I'm sure there are a few here who are interested.

The decision holds that there is an individual right to bear arms.

And that's probably all that should be said.

Bravo.
Lets say, for simplicities sake, I agree and am happy with the decision.

To put it simply: NRA members are happy with the decision; Gun control advocates are not.

This will directly effect the largest city near me ... Chicago, which also has a complete ban on handguns.

The TV news will be buzzing tonight!

Very good news… and I like how they clearly defined all the “militia” references as well.

Great news... I have no problem with a realistic approach to some control, but you had best not take my guns away from me.
