Heller was always just the beginning. Court recognition of the 2nd Amendment will necessarily be followed by cases from all over the country testing the limits thereof — does the right to “bear” mean the right to carry?; does the 2nd protect automatic-weapon ownership?; can trigger-locks be required?; can certain ammunition be banned?; can certian weapons additions or alterations be banned (drums, suppressors, etc.)?.

Heller raised more questions than it answered, and basically opened an entire new arena of jurisprudence surrounding the 2nd Amendment.

Definitions of "bear" on the Web:

* wear: have on one's person; "He wore a red ribbon"; "bear a scar"

* have rightfully; of rights, titles, and offices; "She bears the title of Duchess"; "He held the governorship for almost a decade"
