Reason offers some interesting views on the Heller decision and the future of the Second Amendment. I am thrilled the court shot down DC's absurd anti-self defense laws and in the process made the case for the validity of the Second Amendment as it has been historically understood. However,the narrowness of the vote (only one Obama appointment from going the other way) and the nod given by even the majority to the state's right to regulate ownership heavily is worrisome.
If this were a football game I'd say we won on a long TD pass with no time left ... and I'd be very worried about playing our next opponent.

Absolutely right. Presidents come and go, but their judicial appointments is where they leave the true mark of their legacy.
FDR knew that and we have been suffering from his "Court Packing" ever since he opened Pandora's Box to federal social intervention.
