Wait for the counter suits!
I am looking for a link to Scalia's statement. Very clearly defines this as an individual right.

Fantastic! Now I have to read through all that stuff to see what they REALLY said... At the least it's a step in the right direction!

I like a story with a happy ending. The Supreme Court can decide to hear or not hear cases that come before it. Let the challenges come. All the best...

Before anybody gives President Bush a rough time in the future, remember that he appointed the last two Justices.
If gore or kerry would have been President, there would have been a different ruling.
This is the best day that us gun owners have ever had, and we have George Bush to thank for it.

ElyBoy highlights an important aspect of the Presidency, appointing Supreme Court Justices with consent. But, let's not forget poor Borke and the drubbing he took. Still on this one issue alone, the Bush Court elevates his Presidency to a much higher level than many predecessors.
Bushy's comments about components and ammo, too, needs underscoring. Prohibition of lead, added taxes, types of ammo available, magazine restrictions will be some of the tricks the antis try.
Still four of the Justices voted to overturn intent and design of the Second Ammendment. The dissent statements will be as critical as the affirming statements in understanding that even at the highest court in the land some of the Justices have no moral compass. Two of these liberal ambulance chasers will leave the court during the next presidential term and I sure hope McCain is the one to appoint their replacements.
And, kudos to Kennedy for his swing vote. It was critical and predictable on this issue.
So -- two really bad court decisions have occured (child rape and terrorist rights to our legal system) and one really substantial one on the SA, the latter being the most important court decision since Roe V Wade, hopefully, soon to be overturned IF McCain makes it.

I guess sometimes the system works. I am relieved to see that it was decided that individuals still have the right to use guns in self defence. I am wholey concerned that the decision was only 5-4! What ever happened to the "Learned and impartial" judges of the supreme court?

"radical activists"..??..And so were our Founding Fathers...The framers of our Constitution and Bill of Rights...I'm just glad they were on our side...
Unfortunately 4 Justices do not read the constitution as it was originally written and wish to re-enterporate it to suit themselves and their miss guided belief (read that "agenda")...
