Supreme Court's 2008 decision in Heller v. District of Columbia confirmed that the Second Amendment means what it says: "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Umm, no it didn't. Didn't Alito him self write that the State could have "common" sense restrictions?
Some one please correct me if I'm wrong.

Justice Scalia wrote the Opinion of the Court in the Heller case; that opinion clearly stated that the banning of an entire class of firearms (specifically handguns) was prohibited by the 2nd; two years later the 2nd was incorporated into the 14th Amendment Due Process Clause and applied to the states in the case
McDonald v. Chicago. You can find both opinions at the Cornell Legal Information Institute; Here's the link to
