"...on the basis of its radically expanded interpretation of the Second Amendment,"
The radical bit was when it was limited to less than the current interpretation. Restoration is in progress, but be clear that it's not over until the tens of thousands of gun laws are gone.
"while giving no weight to the state’s interest in reducing the number of firearms in the public sphere."
Correct. The state's interest is of no consequence when it contradicts the Constitution.
"Ultimately, all that mattered was the right of “law-abiding citizens” ... to decide they wanted to carry a gun to protect themselves."
Right again! That's the funny thing about rights. You don't need a reason nor permission from any authority to express them. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
