Sigh, as right as you are we barely got 5 justices to agree on this, if you read Kennedy’s concurring opinion he is itching to make clear that while it is individual right it is subject to reasonable regulation.

As an aside, Chicago has already announced it is going to ignore the decision, claiming the right does not apply to state (as opposed to federal) action. First round has been narrowly won, but now the real fun begins.

Umm. What Kennedy concurring opinion? There were no concurring opinions written. There were two dissenting opinions by Stevens and Bryer. All of four in the minority either authored or concurred in both dissenting opinions.

FWIW, my lawyer daughter called Bryer's opinion, "Just Crazy".
