So far, it looks like I was wrong, since Stevens and Breyer wrote dissents

Stevens wrote the dissent, and all 4 concurred.

His dissent is radical and striking, going well beyond the gun issue.

In the view of the minority (soon to be a majority if Obama is elected), "right of the People" does not guarantee ANY right to ANY individual which is not subsumed by the collective.

This is an extremely radical opinion, basically ending Liberty in favor of Equality and Fraternity, and it's one vote away from being the law of the land.

One vote away...

Exactly, the Euphoria is well earned, but let’s not get too drunk on the feeling of “winning one”...no, not at all, the Doom of our Freedom is hanging by a cord slightly smaller then a spider silk, it was 5-4, with 3 concurrences on the dissent side, their minds are made up.

We are in a very very precarious situation here, let’s not lose focus on what is really happening, we are 1 vote away from the Extinguishing of Liberty in favor of the Collectivization of “Human Rights” not “Sovereign Powers”.

Danger, Danger Danger...watch with jealous attention anything that approaches the jewel of our liberties.
