Yes (says I breathing sigh of relief), the language about the Second Amendment not conferring individual rights is from the Ninth Circuit, not the Supreme Court. The only order issued by the Supreme Court was a denial of the petition for a writ of certiorari. That order states no reason.

The National Review article (see post #6) is an excellent discussion of the issues swirling around this case. This case had little chance of success, and we should be glad that the only damage caused was the crappy decision from the Ninth Circuit. I am not prepared to have my right (or my grandchild's right) to own firearms lost just to gratify someone's childlike urge for a decision now and damn the consequences.
