One of the dissenting judges coments:

Justice John Paul Stevens wrote that the majority “would have us believe that over 200 years ago, the Framers made a choice to limit the tools available to elected officials wishing to regulate civilian uses of weapons.”

I don’t get it. . . I thought that they studied this stuff. . . try reading the Federalist Papers and see the fear the people and states had of a strong Federal government and you can see that that is exactly what they meant. They feared the power of the elected officials and wanted to insure the people kept the upper hand.

I do agree that this is a good break on the court, 5/4 means that we won’t get too sure of ourselves in this victory and will keep fighting . . . .
