Everyone is pleased about Heller, but some people are already having reservations and getting somewhat down.
Don't.
Look at three of the major positive outcomes that came out today:
1.) Individual Right (permant and final)
2.) "Well-Regulated" does not mean "Massively Regulated" (or "Well-Regulated means Reasonable Restrictons" as Helmke said the 2nd Amendment means)
This is what was in the opinion: -"Finally, the adjective “well-regulated” implies nothing more than the imposition of proper discipline and training."
Very, very big win for us.
3.) In the eyes of the general public, the 2nd Amendment means "Individual Rights" now. That is a huge, huge win. Because with that, it will be harder for Anti-Gunners to get laws passed and elected on an anti-gun platform.
The court of public opinion is very important. So many people know so little, yet they repeat it so loudly. They used to be able to say, "Collective, Collective, Collective." Now they can only say, "Individual, Individual, Individual." (Hard to get around that one.)
We look at the small pictures as we look at the big picture, the general masses usually only look at the big picture, thus they can't see the little pictures.
Yes, we may have some losses, but did anyone really think we were going to get the MG gun ban, Incorporation and others all at once, or at all?
Look at the positives, that this is a huge win for us and a starting point to fight more unreasonable gun laws.
