The decision may have come down by now. I can only hope– and pray– that it’ll be favorable.
Massad Ayoob has links to a group of podcasts and interviews (including John Stossel’s show from this week) concerning the case.
Joe Huffman quotes justice Scalia from the Heller decision. To paraphrase:
We are aware of the problem of handgun violence in this country, and we take seriously the concerns raised by the many amici who believe that prohibition of handgun ownership is a solution. The Constitution leaves [them] a variety of tools for combating that problem, including some measures regulating handguns… [...] But the enshrinement of constitutional rights necessarily takes certain policy choices off the table. These include the absolute prohibition of handguns held and used for self-defense in the home. [...] it is not the role of this Court to pronounce the Second Amendment extinct.
Maybe we can take one more step towards true freedom today.
