SCOTUS Upholds 2nd Amendment! [Updated]

Apparently, the Supreme Court ruled today that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to have a gun. The Court, splitting 5-4, struck down a District of Columbia ban on handguns.
I'll update when I can find the opinion...
UPDATE: The opinion, written by Justice Scalia can be found here.
The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditional lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.
This is one of the reasons that I love Justice Scalia... no ambiguity. As an NRA Life Member, I'll be doing my happy dance and buying my wife a new handgun for our anniversary!
If your wife is the type that likes firearms and would find a handgun as a suitable annniversary gift, does she have a single sister in her late 20's to early 30's?

Dependence is Slavery.
She has three brothers. She grew up in London and Santa Barbara, CA, so you can imagine all the work that I've had to do to bring her to the "darkside." Her transformation is nearly complete... heh.
You really are the fastest squirrel. I had my post up within 5 minutes of hearing the news and you were alreaddy up...LOL
I've been scooped!
