This is great news, and the decision is a good read. But here is a turd in the punchbowl:

Reasonable restrictions also might be thought consistent with a “well regulated Militia.” The registration of firearms gives the government information as to how many people would be armed for militia service if called up. Reasonable firearm proficiency testing would both promote public safety and produce better candidates for military service.

If they want people eligable for the militia to submit their names and contact info, that is one thing. They don't need an inventory of your equipment.

Also, they may want proficiency testing for membership in the "organized" militia, but not as a condition to own "arms".

I have not read every thread but a few thoughts before I hit the sack.

The 2nd Amendment is broken into two thoughts separated by the coma. The first part is the regulated militia part. The 2nd part is the "right of the people".

The Bill Of Rights is about the rights of the individual and the 2nd amendment is part of it.

IMHO it is clear as a bell that the 2nd Amendment is about the right of the individual to bear arms. Today the court majority got it exactly right. The dissenting opinion was totally out to lunch.
