The Court has released the opinion in District of Columbia v. Heller (07-290), on whether the District’s firearms regulations – which bar the possession of handguns and require shotguns and rifles to be kept disassembled or under trigger lock – violate the Second Amendment. The ruling below, which struck down the provisions in question, is affirmed.

Justice Scalia wrote the opinion. Justice Breyer dissented, joined by Justices Stevens, Souter and Ginsburg. We will provide a link to the decision as soon as it is available.

The devil’s in the details. Hope they’ve got an Evelyn Wood grad on standby to go through the fine print.

The shorter it is, the better. I'm afraid that if it's a tome, it's going to be an exercise in having the Second Amendment nuanced out of existence. IMHO.

Never so happy to be wrong.

Protects INDIVIDUAL Right to bear arms. Yes! Looks like 6-3 decision?

Never so happy to be wrong.

Protects INDIVIDUAL Right to bear arms. Yes! Disregard 6-3; Souter and Stevens blended together. *LOL*

Will be pretty clear cut if only one majority opinion.

One majority opinion, too. That’s very important. Good day today.

Anyone want to venture a guess on how this might have turned out with Sandra Day O’Connell still on the bench?

Only two opinions - a majority opinion and a dissent. No other separate opinions to cloud the issue.

We came one vote away from losing our rights. That’s scary.

This is why I'm voting for McCain. Imagine the type of person Barry would nominate to join the Leftist Four on the Court!

This was a 5-4 decision.

THIS IS WHY WE MUST ELECT JOHN MCCAIN, WARTS AND ALL, THIS NOVEMBER.

Can we really bear having a radical Chicago machine politician appoint the next Supreme Court justice?
