Not really, places like Chicago can still make it nearly impossible for most citizens to own a gun. All they have to do is make it too expensive or physically difficult.

The question of "reasonable" gun control is still unanswered.

My worry is that the Court has 'discovered' a new right somewhere in the Constitution, that of keeping a handgun in the home for purposes of self-defense (subject to police permission), and replaced the Second Amendment with it entire. The question of whether we have an unconditional RKBA - that is, one as unconditional as, say, freedom of speech is - has been shunted aside.

“SCOTUS ruling shows how far gun rights have come”

The sad, sick part of this entire ‘issue’ is that it is an issue, at all. The Second Amendment is clear and succinct. There should be NO argument over its meaning.

Or course, that never stopped the progressives, socialists, or other assorted liberals...

It’s time to take back the country. Reaffirming the Second Amendment is a good place to start.

Others -- like Rush Limbaugh -- were alarmed, noting that what should have been an obvious statement of a right specifically protected in the Constitution

That is correct, the Thomas statement about the fourteenth was irrelevant to original intent.
