The Supreme Court got it right! The court ruled that an absolute ban on handguns is unconstitutional under the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms.

Our founding fathers were inartful if not clumsy when they drafted the Second Amendment’s preamble which referred to the need for a “well regulated militia.” Anti-gun advocates have seized on that preamble for decades to argue that the Constitution only allows for guns for military, not for the general citizenry.

But a clearer reading of the full text of the Second Amendment makes it clear that the Amendment covers the right for all people, not just military, to “bear arms.” This ruling means that an absolute ban on handguns will not pass constitutional muster, but a reasonable limitation on handguns will. Now every state and county will need to figure out what such reasonable limitations mean…so look for more cases on that one.
