NOTE - This is what AP is quoting from the dissent. I have a copy, but
I haven't read the entire thing yet...

-- Begin AP quote:

In dissent, Justice John Paul Stevens, joined by Souter, Ginsburg, and
Breyer, wrote that the majority "would have us believe that over 200
years ago, the Framers made a choice to limit the tools available to
elected officials wishing to regulate civilian uses of weapons."

He further writes that such evidence "is nowhere to be found."

-- End AP quote

Even totally discounting the Second itself, apparently Justice Stevens
hasn't heard of (particularly) Hamilton, Jefferson, et al...and shows
no
understanding of what "the Framers" thought with regard to the "Bill of
Rights."

This could be among the most stunning opinions ever issued...and if I
were Obama, I'd keep my mouth absolutely shut unless it was to denounce
the dissent from a purely legal standpoint. The Dems oughta get busy
thanking some higher power that Stevens was a Ford appointment.

Sheesh,

I'm a shooter, but I don't know how this outcome impacts my feelings
about walking around in DC. I hope the locals can figure out some way to
deal with their gun problem in light of this decision.
