But while a person has a constitutional right to own guns, that new right is not unlimited, Scalia wrote.
"new" right? Is this an error - did Scalia call it a "new" right?
That's rather ominous, actually - I still think we're begging for crumbs from the SCotUS table, they just happened to give us one THIS time.

I suspect it's an error by the author (Randy Hall). ...a major one.

"But while a person has a constitutional right to own guns, that new right is not unlimited, Scalia wrote."What Scalia actually wrote is this:
"Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose..."

"new" right? Is this an error - did Scalia call it a "new" right?Justice Scalia most emphatically did not call the 2d Amendment new, this is deliberately sloppy writing on the part of the "journalist"...
