Its a completely ridiculous ruling. I mean, if individuals are NOT guaranteed the RKBA by the Second Amendment via the route of application to the states via the Fourteenth Amendment - then why do courts insist the First Amendment applies to the States as well as the federal government by virtue of the same theory? This double standard in constitutional interpretation tells us all we need to know about judicial activism. And the penchant of liberal judges to elevate some rights above others in the law.

The second amendment doesn't guarantee anything. It simply tells the government that it may not interfere with a sacred right. Finally, after reason and persuasion are done, it is our arms alone that guarantee those rights.
