Breaking: Second Amendment Decision

From the Syllabus of today’s majority opinion in Heller v. DC, written by Justice Scalia:

The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditional lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.

The opinion of the Court is here. Note that the first part, the 'syllabus' is written by the reporter of decisions, the holdings are the part that binds future cases. The 'official' majority opinion begins with the statement Opinion of the Court, or with the dissents, the name of the Justice writing it. Note: 'Holding' is also used as 'Opinion of the Court' the part of a decision that binds future Courts, that's the official part of the decision.

Tom Goldstein - Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm.

Decision was 5-4, one vote away from Marxism. When you can read, you know what the Second Amendment meant, and it is a perfect barometer of the America rulers, not the people. Do these Democrat Marxist think that people are just going to roll over why they enslave the population with high taxes and crushing regulations?

UPDATE: Quotes from the opinion:

“Logic demands that there be a link between the stated purpose and the command.”

“We start therefore with a strong presumption that the Second Amendment right is exercised individually and belongs to all Americans.”

“the most natural reading of ‘keep Arms’ in the Second Amendment is to “have weapons.”

“The term was applied, then as now, to weapons that were not specifically designed for military use and were not employed in a military capacity.”

“Putting all of these textual elements together, we find that they guarantee the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation.“

So now the fight with the left will encompass what can be banned, restrictions on ammo, and other nonsensical harassment approaches to banning guns.

My question is why do the Democrat Marxists support gun bans in the first place?

UPDATE: The most troubling thing about the decision is reading the descent opinions. These people think the written US Constitution is meaningless and they can write what they want. As they proved in other decisions issued this week, where the liberal tripe was readily apparent.

Choose wisely this election, Comrade Obama is Marxist tyranny posing as just a friendly face.
