Our view on the Second Amendment: Ruling reflects America’s ambivalence on guns (USATODAY.com) Posted on June 28th
Fortunately, the 5-4 decision to strike down the District of Columbia’s tough ban on handgun possession didn’t go as far as gun-control advocates had feared or the gun lobby had hoped.

That leaves in place reasonable restrictions or outright bans on firearms such as machine guns and sawed-off shotguns, and exotic weapons such as surface-to-air missiles.
