I would not call this a "Big Victory." I would not it call it a complete loss either. It's good to get some confirmation of the individual right to keep and bear arms, but what good is it if the government can pick and choose who gets to exercise that right?

You have the right, but....

It's a fifty/fifty verdict, but we should take the good part and advance the cause.

The extensive discussion, in dicta, upholds (maybe not the right term) the individual right to keep and bear arms even though one is not a member of an organized militia, and soundly REJECTS the collective rights' or states rights' invention of the enemies of freedom.
