Heller decision reaffirms most gun
controls
After an initial assessment of the Supreme
Court's Heller decision, this decision may go down as the court ruling that
stops gun bans but protects gun control.
Click here to read the actual decision.
Though we'll have a more comprehensive analysis
of the case later, there is some good -- and a lot bad -- in the SCOTUS
decision:
- It reaffirms the Second Amendment as an
individual rights, and is unconnected with service in a militia
- It overturns trigger lock requirement laws
as unconstitutional
However, it essentially reaffirms the ability
of government to license, register and regulate all types of firearms.
In short, it gives a green light to all forms of
gun control except the banning of entire classes of arms.
Again, we'll have a full analysis shortly.
