So all DC has to do is not issue licenses? I was reading another article that the ruling did not strike down license requirements, laws on felons and the mentally retarded...

Why in the world would you post a link to your own blog site containing nothing more than the text you posted on FR?

Is it extreme vanity, silliness, or cognitive impairment?

I was truely worried about this going the wrong way, after seeing some of the recent decisions.

Bravo, they got it right.

A freedom medal for Mr. Robert Levy and a hearty thank you on behalf of my relatives who gave their lives on April 19, 1775 so we could all enjoy that right.

Thank you Mr. Levy

You're a true American patriot in my book.

Someone needs to challenge the Sullivan Act and the other crap like Chicago’s ban.

Even the requirement to have a CCH to carry concealed is crap IMO.

Even though today’s ruling turned out the way we wanted, I confess to a great deal of unease over waiting to hear what my rights are from a black robed oligarchy.

Yesterday’s ruling on child rapists proves my point.

I had serious doubts about the outcome. So glad to see I was wrong. A stronger majority would have been nice. But hey I’ll take this.

A link to the 157 page “Slip” (preliminary text) Opinion is at:
http://www.scotusblog.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/07-290.pdf
The first 67 pages are Scalia and are a masterful and complete analysis of the issue.

In dissent, Justice John Paul Stevens wrote that the majority "would have us believe that over 200 years ago, the Framers made a choice to limit the tools available to elected officials wishing to regulate civilian uses of weapons."

Is it me or does this prove how radically socialist and totalitarian the left wing members of SCOTUS are?

The troubling part is the 5-4 decision.

Four justices believe the 2nd amendment doesn't mean what it says.

Hooray! That’s a big relief, and a decision that is long overdue. I’m more than a little concerned that there are four judges seated on the highest court of the land that do not agree.

So, when will the ACLU take their first case supporting an individual’s right to keep and bear arms? (I’m not holding my breath!)
