This is outstanding news CCT.

AWK - isn't your famous lawyer saying "Its the supreme law of the land" kicking in on this case? It seems that is the case on this ruling.

It would have been the case if they had decided it the other way, as well.

Glad that you posted this good news, CCT, however I find it disturbing that this was not a unanimous vote in support of the Second Amendment Rights.

Doesn't have to be unanimous to be law, but I understand what you mean.

"When I signed with Auburn University in 2007, I didn't sign with coaches. Tuberville wasn't on my scholarship, Coach Willis wasn't on my scholarship. Auburn University was on my scholarship. So when I didn't qualify, Auburn, they didn't drop me, they still kept in contact, they still kept on encouraging me. When Auburn had a down season, I sat back and thought about that, they were with me when I was down, so I decided to stick with them when they were down. Plus, it's a great place. I wouldn't want to be nowhere else." - Eltoro Freeman

I understand what you mean also and I do not intend to be provocative to you (or the other Lawyers on the board) but it doesn't take a person with a law degree to understand the meaning and the intent of the 2nd Amendment.  Why this is so difficult for liberal justices to understand is beyond me other than their hatred of guns in general and their scorn of the Second Amendment and an armed citizenry as being the ultimate "check and balance" to a tyrant (yes, I said it!) blinds them to the purpose as intended by the Founders.

Justice Sotomayor herself was asked about this very issue by Senator Leahy (D-VT) during her Confirmation Hearing:

Quote
...
LEAHY: I've owned firearms since my early teen years. I suspect a large majority of Vermonters do. I enjoy target shooting on a very regular basis at our home in Vermont. So I watched that decision rather carefully and found it interesting.

Is it safe to say that you accept the Supreme Court's decision as establishing that the Second Amendment right is an individual right? Is that correct?

SOTOMAYOR: Yes, sir.
...

She was unequivocal in her answer.  It was the shortest answer she gave during her hearing.

Obviously she was lying.

Of course it is but do you think that The ONE or any of his orcs in the Justice Dept. or the obsequious sheep in Congress can or will do anything about it?  Do you think that the sycophantic media will call her out?

I may have to back off of the 'obsequious sheep in Congress' comment because Sen. Harry Reid and Gov. Sarah Palin were in virtual agreeance:

Source: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0610/39142.html#ixzz0sGP2vP1G

*Edit: Sen. Reid's remark begs the question yet again why the liberal justices cannot seem to understand this 'essential freedom'.

I rather like the fact that Justice Thomas in his statement recalled or cited the decision made by the Supreme Court to grant to right of gun ownership to former slaves (after the War Between the States) as the ultimate acknowledgment of their true freedom.*

You know why. The left is about having power over people, and have been throughout history. They don't believe its a govt for the people, by the people. And the best way to get power over people is to disarm them. This was one of the first things Hitler convinced the German people to do - give up there guns. Of course (by design), after they forked them over, he turned bad cop and it was too late to go back at that point. The rest is history.

I find it funny too that Chicago and DC are the 2 of the highest crime cities in the US. They also have historically banned guns too.
