The argument about method, however, is by far the less important argument surrounding today’s decision. Far more important are the unfortunate consequences that today’s decision is likely to spawn. Not least of these, as I have said, is the fact that the decision threatens to throw into doubt the constitutionality of gun laws throughout the United States. I can find no sound legal basis for launching the courts on so formidable and potentially dangerous a mission."
"In my view, there simply is no untouchable constitutional right guaranteed by the Second Amendment to keep loaded handguns in the house in crime-ridden urban areas."
Both of those are some of the worst things I've read. Seriously.
On the former, the SCOTUS' job is to uphold the Constitutionality of the laws. That's what they're there for. Secondly - how is this dangerous? If the law is unConstitutional, it should be recinded. No if's, and's, or but's.
On the second - the right, as they interpreted it, has absolutely nothing to do with need nor self-defense. It's about whether or not this is an individual right.
It's like he wasn't there.
