I actually think the Ninth Circus decision is a good one: It puts the issue clearly, succinctly, and abruptly into focus: Their decision states that the Second Amendment IS NOT a right "of the people" and the Fifth Circuit says that it is (although it can be restricted). This is in direct conflict, and both the Ninth and the Fifth refer to each other, directly or indirectly, in contradicting one another. This makes it all to easy for the SCOTUS to grant cert and settle the question one way or the other - although I would like the scope of the decision to include the originally stated boundary of "shall not be infringed" instead of merely "not a right" or "a right subject to certain exceptions."

This case didn't have any Second Amendment aspect considered, AFAIK.

Excellent, the Ninth Circus is the most overturned federal appellate court. I'm anxious to see them overturned again!
