Yes they did. And you and I may disagree with that decision until the cows come home and that isn't going to make abortion illegal. Now is it?
I'm not impressed with your blind allegiance to a small group of elitists.
My God! Cowboyway is not impressed. How will I ever learn to live with a stigma like that?
One justice away from a de facto repeal of 2A and these people have your dying loyalty.
Where the hell have you been? The Supreme Court has limited gun ownership rights for decades. And the Heller decision is certainly not the all encompassing ruling on free and open firearm ownership that you seem to think it is. If you read the decision you'll note that Scalia endorsed the idea that 2nd Amemdment rights are not unlimited, and that the government can prohibit ownership of certain types of weapons. So where are we better off than we were before? So D.C. can't outlaw handgun ownership completely. They can, and will, impose laws that will limit it as much as they can. Scalia's ruling is a joke.
But for all that, it is still a valid Supreme Court ruling and it is binding, until D.C. figures out ways around it. But Scalia could have protected gun ownership rights far more than he chose to do, with his narrowly defined decision.
Will a future posting from NS go something like, "Give up your guns, cowboyway.
I doubt it. Future postings to you will probably be a lot like past postings to you - pointing out just how silly your opinions are.
But it doesn't make the court right either, does it.

Just keep drinking your Kool-Aid and you'll be fine.

Yes, the court, the presidents and the congress have been slowly stripping away our liberty for many years thanks to disHonest Abe, you damn yankees and the centralized authoritarian gubmint.
If you read the decision you'll note that Scalia endorsed the idea that 2nd Amemdment rights are not unlimited, and that the government can prohibit ownership of certain types of weapons.
So I can't have a boomer sub with nuclear capability. Hell, I couldn't afford to crew the thing even if I got a good deal on a used boomer.
But that's not the point and you know it. Restricting ownership of certain types of weapons by individuals is altogether different from repealing the 2A. Repealing the 2A will be the catalyst for registration and confiscation and massive gun control legislation from your beloved central politburo.

Ha! This coming from a man(?) with his head buried so far up his ass that he can see his own tonsils.
