Americans either for or against, takes gun ownership seriously and this rule is landmark in it’s effects: “The landmark 5-4 ruling marked the first time in nearly 70 years the high court has addressed the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. It rejected the argument the right to keep and bear arms was tied to service in a state militia. Justice Antonin Scalia said for the majority the Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with militia service and to use it for traditional lawful purposes, such as self-defense in the home. However, he said the new right was not unlimited. The court struck down two parts of the country’s strictest gun control law adopted in Washington, D.C., 32 years ago — the ban on private handgun possession and the requirement that firearms kept at home be unloaded and disassembled or bound by a trigger lock. The ruling marked the first time the court has struck down a gun control law for violating the Second Amendment.
