[Repeal 16-17]

It means that Cruikshank will be overruled in a future case. There's no logical reason for not "incorporating" the Second Amendment, while the First is incorporated. That overruling couldn't take place in Heller, because the case did not involve a State.

What is the length of the decision? Something like 180 pages?

Seems to me the direction the courts in the whole country in every state will have to take is to kick out laws like the DC "no possession" law. The reason is simply that even if you lost at the state supreme court level in a case like this when you appealed to the US District Court for relief the judge there would be prohibited from upholding the decision of the state courts.

You win when the federales are disabled.

Seems to me New Jersey's overly restrictive laws will soon be toast.

way to see around the corner. I don’t doubt that Scalia was waving a big red flag for the NRA to go after Cruikshank.
