"From the ruling: 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. "

Our forefathers got it right. What is so hard to understand? Why do the gun grabbers twist things around? This is a good day for America!

They [gun grabbers] seem to think that a "law" will keep "criminals" from using guns violently and illegally... Yes, that's their logic. These people are brain dead!

This is why it is so important not to let Obama win. He will appoint very, very liberal Judges to the court, and that is where the real harm will be done.

Pelosi Says D.C. Could Continue Gun Regulation
@ 12:29 pm by Andy Barr
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) says that despite the Supreme Court decision to strike down its gun ban, the District of Columbia will still be able to regulate firearms.

"I think it still allows the District of Columbia to come forward with a law that’s less pervasive," Pelosi said at her weekly briefing Thursday. "I think the court left a lot of room to run in terms of concealed weapons and guns near schools."
