It looks like some of the U.S. Supreme Court has horse sense.
They have ruled today, in a 5-4 decision that the handgun ban in Washington, D.C. is unconstitutional. You can read the majority opinion here.
What disheartens me is the fact that 4 SCOTUS judges think that the people have no individual right to bear arms. This should have been a 9-0 ruling.
Anyway, the ruling that both pro- and anti- gun movements have been trying for and dreading at the same time has come about, and it came down on the side of the citizen, recognizing that the right to bear arms come from God and not the Constitution.
