The Bottom Line

Filed under: Self Defense — Adam @ 10:09 am

Two words:  Individual Right.

SCOTUSblog has a lot more, including some quotes from the decision. Such as:

 “We start therefore with a strong presumption that the Second Amendment right is exercised individually and belongs to all Americans.”

 “Putting all of these textual elements together, we find that they guarantee the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation.”

 “The prefatory clause does not suggest that preserving the militia was the only reason Americans valued the ancient right; most undoubtedly thought it even more important for self-defense and hunting.”

SayUncle has the quote of the year, Gook w/a 45 has something to say, Michelle is all over it, and Ace has some, too.

Bottom line, though.  Individual right.

Also, don’t forget where Obama stands and which justices he said he respects.  (Hint and link: the wrong ones.)
