It will still be illegal to have a gun outside of your house and all of your pistols have to be registered. Everyone needs to read the whole judgement before popping champaign bottles. The decision also defined what the states can do to regulate gun ownership.

I too have read the whole decision and do not see it quite the same way. What I am sure of is that the lawyers will debateing this one forever and making a lot of money in the process. If it went the other way we would have a much worse problem for sure!!!

Uuuh, I read it too and didn't see anything quiet like you're talking about.
You may want to get an interpreter to help you out with that whole English/English language barrier![B)]

Green Mile is right. At the basic level, Mr. Heller won the "right" to obtain a D.C. hangun license that allows him to keep his gun assembled and loaded in his own home.

and going back to his original court case...
...that is what he wanted, he didnt ask for anything else.
for him, he won, for the rest of the gun owners in the u.s. it was a partial win and will need more court cases to astablish just what right the states, counties, and cities have to make gun laws...if the second amendement is interpreted as it is written by the supreme court, who holds the power to make gun laws, and what laws?
does a city, county, federal govt.or state have the legal right to ban certain types of weapons? certain magazines? is registration legal?
the supreme court is the only one who will have the legal right to decide that when its all said and done...time will tell what happens.
im surprised the nra didnt have all their paper work ready to submit to the court immediatly after the decision was read out, those laws will have to be testedat some stage, better to do it now while there are still enough justices sitting who believe in your constitution and its ammendements i think....

Everyone had better worry about the 5-4 vote. I never thought that it would be that close in a republican sponsered (nominated)court. The thing to watch here is the following cases that goes on the court's opinions that were published after the decision. Right or wrong Lawyers look at these things hard for guidance.
