2nd Ammemdment Lives!

Just a headline so far, but the Supreme Court has (narrowly) upheld the US Constitution and struck down Washington D.C.'s illegal handgun ban.

Still waiting on details - I'm hoping for a sweeping condemnation of firearm restrictions, but I doubt we'll get quite that lucky. Just having the ban struck down is a big step in the right direction, and I'm extremely happy right now.

The United States Constitution is still alive and kicking.

Edit: Text of the decision. Nicely written, and actually quite amusing. http://www.scotusblog.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/07-290.pdf
