SCOTUS Upholds 2nd Amendment! [Updated]
By The Fastest Squirrel Posted in The Courts — Comments (4) / Email this page » / Leave a comment »
Apparently, the Supreme Court ruled today that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to have a gun. The Court, splitting 5-4, struck down a District of Columbia ban on handguns.
I'll update when I can find the opinion...
UPDATE: The opinion, written by Justice Scalia can be found here.
The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditional lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.
This is one of the reasons that I love Justice Scalia... no ambiguity. As an NRA Life Member, I'll be doing my happy dance and buying my wife a new handgun for our anniversary!
If your wife is the type that likes firearms and would find a handgun as a suitable annniversary gift, does she have a single sister in her late 20's to early 30's?
