The decision is narrow, the majority is as narrow as it can be, but fundamentally:
The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.
It’s been a long, cold, lonely winter, but here comes the sun.
Thus begins the reversal of the long slow slide into abject sheepdom that started with the 1934 Gun Control Act.
Many, many more cases to come over the next several years. D.C. will play silly buggers over things like licensing.
However, the pendulum begins its long, slow swing back. The trend is clear. As Americans once again begin to openly exercise their right to keep and bear, future decisions will be broader and easier, and the resistance will weaken.
The next decision, I think, will be broader and the majority not so narrow.
Damn.
