and well, like Dylan (c) sang "the times they are a'changing" and so is the court.

It is a well known thought that by 2018, at least four of the other judges(not including the two most recent) will retire meaning 6 of the 9 will be ones who were not on board when Hller was decided.

big ooops isn't it?

and if you wanna argue specifics, I am sure there is an echo chamber in the pro-gun section that will fully back it

however- the decision was 5 to 4 and the court will soon be much more liberal
as are the two justices since this decision are already

(2) Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues. The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms. Miller’s holding that the sorts of weapons protected are those “in common use at the time” finds support in the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons. Pp. 54–56.
