In stunning news the D.C. Circuit Court actually read the Constitutiion of the United States, and after so many long years found the Second Amendment, link:
To summarize, we conclude that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms. That right existed prior to the formation of the new government under the Constitution and was premised on the private use of arms for activities such as hunting and self-defense, the latter being understood as resistance to either private lawlessness or the depredations of a tyrannical government (or a threat from abroad).
The D.C. Circuit affirmed the individual model of rights rather than the Soviet style collective. Glenn Reynolds.
La Shawn Barber is thrilled. Let freedom ring.
