By elimination of Militia as meaning the whole body of nation it has seperated the Active Standing Military, the National guard is now standing military, from the people and left them no recourse to its, 2nd Amendment's original intent. That this "Last Word" opinion gives "Legality' to those who wish to put in place even more restrictive requirments to owning a handgun or rifle such as,what is construed as an appropriate character of person, and even type of weapon and ammuntion for each use. As a question to the complications of what does one do if a city places restrictions upon access that are extremely hard for a great number of populace to comply with? Restrictions such as 30 or 60 day waiting list, 36 hours or more in an approved training facility, a multi hundred dollar fee for registration of any and all firearms and last but not least a registration and ballistic photo of a fired round through each weapon. Can a city impose a mandatory checking period of how and where weapon is or a short span such as a three month permit with no automatic renewal and a fee for background checks each time? The very wording of the original Amendment and the history at time has now been changed once and for all and as what once was said, Democracy may seem to live on due to the appearances of its old edifices while for all practical intents and purpose it has been dead for a long time. So we leave the wording in place while destroying its intent. Respectfully; May the 2nd Amendment R.I.P.

The amendment is so clear, this was the first time the Supreme Court had to take it up since 1791. Glad this ruling came before an Obama Presidency adds to the four liberal idiots now on the bench.
