Syllabus
3. The handgun ban and the trigger-lock requirement (as applied to self-defense) violate the Second Amendment... the requirement that any lawful firearm in the home be disassembled or bound by a trigger lock makes it impossible for citizens to use arms for the core lawful purpose of self-defense and is hence unconstitutional.

Don’t worry. They said you could unlock and or assemble it IF you thought that your life might be in immediate danger. Wasn’t that nice of them?
