Heller Today

[applesanity]

I breathed a sigh of relief.

It's going to be nice day.

YEAHHHH!!!!

 

[SkySlash]

Heller is affirmed!!!

Details trickling out now.

-SS

10:13 Tom Goldstein - Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm.

Amen.........

 

[Quick Karl]

Thank God!

 

[rantingredneck]

10:14 Tom Goldstein - It is striking that the decision is not clouded by ambiguity created by separate opinions. One opinion on each side.

Even better.

EDITED:

10:16 Tom Goldstein - Apologies - there is a second dissenting opinion, but only one majority - no plurality and no concurrences.

Even so, just one majority opinion is a good thing.

5-4 but a clean majority opinion

 

[bikerbill]

5-4 vote not exactly a ringing endorsement, but I'll take it ... interpretation will take time, but it's certainly a win for our side ... what were those four thinking? Scary ...

Closer than I thought it would be..........

Either way, the gun stores are gonna be giddy like schoolgirls on the case.

Scenario #1: things go bad; there's a rush to buy guns in order to bury them in the back yard.
Scenario #2: things go good; there's a rush to buy guns for celebration.

Who's going to the range this weekend?

I just noticed that during my short tour on TFL, this has got to be the fastest thread I've ever seen. A post every minute.

Folks, there is a "sticked" thread at the top of the forum for comments on the case.

We are not going to have multiple threads running on this.

The decision is here.
