I know you're angry

Nope. I just have a clearer view of the actual composition of the court. For example, it used to be Alito's position that "substantive due process inquiry must be informed by history." Too bad his words turned out to be empty rhetoric.

you could at least admit that the Second Amendment Foundation and the NRA won

At the cost of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, federalism, state sovereignty, historic police powers, the integrity of the Supreme Court...

Pyhrric victory. A little more of the Framer's original intent died and the child of leftist judicial activism (substantive due process) grew a little stronger.

while the gun banners in the Chicago government lost.

They'll have their functionally equivalent replacement written shortly.

Didn't I tell you almost exactly two years ago that incorporation was coming?

You did. It's too bad that the original 2nd Amendment only had two more years to live.

This usurpation of power stuff can be fun!

That's why the left chases that dragon.

Alito’s opinion was informed by recent history. That history shows that incorporation has already been irreversibly embraced, and under the current standards, the 2nd amendment qualified.

Too recent? You never made that complaint about Wickard when discussing Raich. ;)
