Let Freedom Ring!!!!
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.
The Supreme Court struck down the D.C. gun ban. Hallelujah!
The opinion is here.
Key findings:
- There is an individual right to keep and bear arms.
- This right is not dependant on any kind of militia service
- Self defense is a legitimate use of firearms, envisioned by the founders.
- The DC law is effectively a ban, because it prevents self defense.
