| Huzzah!
My celebration is tempered with caution--the DC ban was among the nation's most restrictive and categorical; there's no telling what it means for gun restriction legislation in general. (But here's hoping NYC's draconian restrictions will fall under the current ruling.) |

| Some of the Chicago suburbs have these stupid laws banning handgun ownership,
were you to shoot an intruder committing a burglary you would be charged with a crime for owning a gun. 
I'm glad there still exists some common sense somewhere in this country.

| I knew a thread would be started on this.
At least we do have justices that still interpret the constitution for what is really says!

I don't even want to imagine that!
Scalia's written interpretation of the 2nd amendment is nothing short of brilliant!
