SCOTUS has released it’s decision on Heller vs DC, and has found an individual right to keep firearms, at least in one’s own home for both protection and hunting.

The opinion is here. I’ll try reading through it and giving up my thoughts.

But basically the facts from 30K feet….It was a 5-4 decision. Scalia wrote the court’s decision, joined by Roberts, Thomas, Alito and Kennedy. Apparently both Breyer and Stevens wrote dissenting opinions, joined by Ginsburg and Souter. To be honest, the dissenting opinion is probably going to be more interesting.

UPDATE : I’m still reading through the opinion so I don’t have anything to offer yet, plus I still want to double check the end result with some of my previous thoughts, and the reasoning for those thoughts at the time.

To be honest I’m still not feeling well at all, and today’s blood work indicates I probably won’t turn the corner until Monday.  Sitting up and reading for an hour requires a six hour nap to recover, you do the math considering the opinion is over 150 pages…..interesting though it may be.
