We have a decision in Heller...
The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditional lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.And we seem to still have a Republic, too. I'll be reading the decision today and posting any details that seem relevant over the next few days. It's 157 pages. Reading the syllabus is interesting. It's a 5-4 decision, written by Scalia and joined by Roberts, Alito, Thomas, and Kennedy. There appear to be two dissenting opinions, each of which received 4 votes. |
