Great 2a Ruling from 9th circut appellate court
http://www.scotusblog.com/wp/second-amendment-extended/
Basically states that the second amendment applies to local and state governments and restricts their ability to create "gun control laws".

I'm underwhelmed by Heller and this ruling as well. From what I can tell, it means that you can own 1 gun, under severe restriction and regulation, that you can keep in your home for self-defense.
Let me know when Heller actually leads to something being struck down beyond that. SCOTUS are buffoons. |
