Last week, the Supreme Court decision on District of Columbia vs. Heller was widely touted as a landmark ruling. The court settled, finally, the big question: did the Second Amendment provide for private ownership of guns or did the Founding Fathers intend only to guarantee the right to arm militias?
From my studies of the Constitution, I always assumed it meant we were guaranteed the right to own firearms, as well as the militias. Now, I am afraid that Members of Congress will try to extensively define the 2nd Amendment on these premises.
