"That's great, but the decision also seems to say that the right can be limited by whatever means the Federal government chooses."

No, it clearly says that such restrictions must be, "limited, narrowly tailored specific exceptions or restrictions for particular cases that are reasonable and not inconsistent with the right of Americans generally to individually keep and bear their private arms as historically understood in this country."

That is good, except for two points.
I don't think the Federal government should be involved in placing those limitations.
and
A simple and broad "restraining order" is not a reasonable restriction.

For all I know Emerson might be an abusive and violent man who should be restrained, but due process should be paramount and his 2A protections not lifted so easily.
