The American Citizen Won

The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the District of Columbia cannot ban a citizen from keeping a handgun at home, throwing out one of the nation's strictest gun control laws.

Writing for the 5-4 majority, Justice Antonin Scalia said that the Constitution protects an individual's right to keep and carry a gun.


The only bad news was the decision was 5-4, it should have been 9-0. Its a reminder that elections count and if you don't want the USSC to reverse it when the next president appoints two more liberal justices, vote in November. Sitting on the sideline is not an option, it is the same as voting for the other person.
