Whatever the Supreme Court (or any other court) may say or not say is totally irrelvant to me - my wife and I will continue to maintain a handgun in our home.

It is a sad comment that it took a lawsuit to clarify the common sense notion that the Bill of Rights is unambiguous in delineating a citizen's constitutional rights (not a government's) and that, as has been shown time and again that the "well regulated militia" mentioned in the Second Amendment referred to every able bodied male in America. There were no state controlled militia at the time the Bill of Rights was penned. Regulation referred to training and preparation to repel tyrants and thieves.
Inherent in the Declaration of Independence is the right of "of life, liberty and pursuit of justice". Hard to guarantee if you place the population at the mercy of felons and politicians.
To understand the term "well regulated", read the history of the North Carolina Regulators prior to the Revolution.

The Supreme court voted 5 to 4 for personal rights and security. The only fault with the vote is that it was not unanimous.
