Good words. If he can say that kind of thing with conviction in a speech or debate he should be able to walk all over the obamination.

A small sign that John is "growing" on the job.

Now if he would only "grow" on some other issues (like ANWR for instance, not to mention McCain/Feingold abomination.)

[AD from SpringBay]

McCain and the GOP need to publish he-whose-full-name-must-not-be-spoken’s gun right’s voting record AND his statement today about the Heller decision. This needs to be a huge talking point.

Unlike the elitist view that believes Americans cling to guns out of bitterness, today's ruling recognizes that gun ownership is a fundamental right BOOM!!!! hehehe

BOOM!!!! hehehe

[Little Ray]

Sorry. I'd call it “a small step in the right direction.”

It still allows governments to license firearms or deny the right to keep and bear arm by denying those same licenses.

[mware]

Unlike the elitist view that believes Americans cling to guns out of bitterness, today's ruling recognizes that gun ownership is a fundamental right- sacred, just as the right to free speech and assembly.

[Pravious]

“gun ownership is a fundamental right- sacred, just as the right to free speech...”

Oh, you mean “free speech,” John, as in running political ads 60 days before an election? :-/

[ExTexasRedhead]

The Supreme Court and Liberals are turning America into a dictatorship while the sheeple sleep.

[darkwing104]

Keep moving in the right direction John. There is some hope for you yet.

[from occupied ga]

Well Juan said the right words. Too bad his voting history doesn’t confirm the words, but maybe he’s had a change of heart. We can hope that anyway.

[Sunsong]

Don’t underestimate what Obama would do as president. He would simply say there is a *need* for 11 justices instead of the current nine - and then proceed too stack the Court with leftist-liberals until he has a majority.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Unlike the elitist view that believes Americans cling to guns out of bitterness,...

LOLOLOL!!!!

[KoRn]

It’s nice to see McCain delivering a real smackdown on a democrat. A very rare event!

[AnnaZ]

McCain's just trying to make me like him. LOL.

[Sprite518]

Not bad at all.. It’s about time... However, you have a long way to go Johnny to get my vote. Tel;l you what if this becomes the norm instead of the exception, then you will have my vote.

[Sandy]

Heller makes clear that other municipalities like Chicago that have banned handguns have infringed on the constitutional rights of Americans.>

I wish he hadn't said that, because it's incorrect and distracts from an otherwise great smackdown.

[1Old Pro]

and limitations on the ability to use firearms for self-defense.

There are still unconstitutional limitations on CCL carry in many states. Specifically in NYS many jurisdictions (counties) give the issuing judges the ability to restrict the CCL to "taget and hunting" and do not allow it for general self-defense. I hope that gets settled now in NYS.

Translation: “Let me take this wonderful opportunity to b*tch-slap my opponent...”

[nonsporting]

Let's see what McCain has to say about any reenactment of the so-called "assault weapons" ban.

Let's read Miller in light of Heller.
