I really doubt they will go any further than the Chicago ban in the home.

The conservatives are not prone to broad decisions, but rather small ones. Change comes slowly.

Regardless, I think we win this one even if room is left for some minor regulations.

To Freepers who say any kind of regulation on guns is wrong....you need to get a grip. Shall not be infringed does not mean some regulations can’t be there.

For example, free speech does not mean you can libel or slander another person. It does not mean you can yell “fire” in a crowded theater.

There are some minor regulations that probably will be upheld here even as the wider ban is struck down, and that’s okay.

sorry but libel and slander are end products of the Right when its abused...one still has the means to do them...

"fire" in a theater is also not prevented by duct tape upon entrance to the theater, and can in fact be a necessary use of 'FRee' speech if there is in fact a fire...

pre-emptive infringement is a violation of the 2A...

it either is a protected God given Right, or its a simple flavor of the month priveledge, cant have it both ways...

I agree.

you need to get a grip. Shall not be infringed does not mean some regulations can’t be there.

Problem is, there are some already:

1. Don't kill innocent people with your gun.
2. Don't try to kill innocent people with your gun.
3. Don't fire your gun in a manner in which it will kill innocent people.
4. Don't brandish your gun menacingly at people who are innocent.

Besides those four, I can't think of any more that are needed.

It's in plain English, 'shall not be infringed'. Any regulation is unconstitutional.

[Brytani]

What infringements would the founders have found permissible?

Please define “minor.”

But they, government, may not tape your mouth shut because you *might* yell fire in crowded theater. Any restriction on keeping and bearing are analogous to doing that.

Murder and assault are illegal, what the tool the criminal misuses is beside the point.

Similarly they can't deny you a forum because you *might* slander someone, or take away your keyboard because you might libel someone. But if you do, you can be punished. Same with misuse of arms.
