It’s a good decision, but one that should NEVER have been needful. Our RIGHTS are not up for a vote by ANYONE. Since they are not GRANTED by government, they are not subject to restriction by government. Only at the LOCAL level can a city regulate where and when someone may discharge a firearm in other than an emergency situation. That’s it and that’s all. Numbers, types, etcetera, are NOT subject to ANYONE’S regulation or restriction. Ever.
dcwusmc: “Our RIGHTS are not up for a vote by ANYONE.”
I see at least a few other FReepers recognize this for what it was. We literally came within one vote of losing a clearly defined right, one that isn’t theirs to decide in the first place. This 5-4 decision shows how close we literally teeter on the edge of absolute tyranny. Yes, that’s exactly what it is when five justices can write or rewrite our contract, the US Constitution, as they see fit.
