I disagree. He went to great lengths to accurately define the 2nd Amendment but when he got to the “shall not be infringed” part, he failed utterly by basically declaring that everything but an outright ban does not constitute infringement.

Actually, if you read it, Scalia set up information for exactly those arguments to be pursued. Bringing them up now went WAY beyond the scope of the ruling and into "activism" range.

There is plenty in the Heller ruling, and in other rulings from past cases about 1st, 4th ,5th, etc... Rights that we can use in other Cases to get incorporation, over turn licensing requirements, and quite possibly the '34 NFA/'68 GCA/'86 FOPA crap.
