Thread Title: "WE WIN!!!"
AuctionArmsCeo Today the Supreme Court of these United States ruled that the 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects and individual right to keep and bear arms. I'm so relieved that law has caught up with reality. I'm going to remember this day forever...

AA-bob bugmantrap, that portion of the opinion your point out is not "the holding" in this case. It is window dressing and is commonly refered to in legalese as "dicta" or more correctly, "Obiter dicta" ... those [words] which are not binding, but are merely editorializing, or explanatory in nature.

AuctionArmsCeo This is basic, folks. Prior to this ruling, no court in the land would take seriously the merits of argueing a person's 2nd Amendment rights were violated. In many ways, without this ruling, the antis had already won and we kept anything resembling 2nd Amendment rights because of the popularity of guns - and not because of anything the courts were doing to help us.

This changes that.

Now, a lawyer can march into a courtroom, and regardless of a judge's personal predilictions, that judge will have to respect the high court's explicit statement that the 2nd Amendment protects an individual right - and at least give that lawyer's arguments some thought.

This is a win. Our win. Soak it up!

Hagrid Well gentlemen, we have at least proved one point. We have completed 34 post to this thread and I have not read a single name called nor personal attack brought forth.We have disagreed and agreed while being civil about it. I will agree to give this some more thought from your side of the arguement.AA-Bob make a point with me with his last two posts. It is a side I had not considered.So I, as I am sure all of you, will have to develope a wait and see attitude as to where the antis attack and how they attack next. good thread. Trapper
