The only thing they `gutted’ was their own integrity credibility by ignoring plain, recent black-letter stare decisis (the legal principle of determining points in litigation according to precedent).
All it is is more left-wing judicial activism spitting on the law.

F* that. The only ‘stare decisis’ they had to ‘noodle over’ is the Law of the Land: “keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
No other precedent need be consulted.
Now, where’s our worthless, POS D.C. ‘leaders’ and the AGs of each State (not that I expect much from my home state of MD) to remove, like the 9th, those whom no longer judge but write ‘law’??
I went to high school in Maryland (Friendly, Oxon Hill, south of DC). The state is infested with Democrats.
Whether you like it or not, about 2000 years of Anglo-American jurisprudence involves `black letter’ law (statutes) and case law, with statutes taking precedence but stare decisis helping resolve disputes.
As you recognize, the Constitution and Bill of Rights are the final authority.
My point is that the Fourth thumbed its nose at Heller. This will go up.
