A good day for gun rights advocates. Based on the opinions of Justices Scalia and Stevens in today's ruling, there is still sharp disagreement about the ambiguous wording of the 2nd Amendment. The conservatives control the Court now and carried a 5-4 majority. (You didn't even need to check a scorecard to know who the 5 were and who the 4 were). This does give more support to the right of individuals to own guns -- existing law, the 1939 ruling, interpreted the 2nd Amendment within the context of a militia -- but I don't think we have heard the last of this issue.
