Although the Court could have ruled that the law was being enforced too strictly, it instead invalidated the law entirely, on the basis of its radically expanded interpretation of the Second Amendment, while giving no weight to the states interest in reducing the number of firearms in the public sphere. Ultimately, all that mattered was the right of law-abiding citizens an ambiguous term not further defined to decide they wanted to carry a gun to protect themselves.

"...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 states 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.

Watching this supposedly highly educated individual stumble from one emotionally charged argument to another is really quite sad. Maybe he should try as tissue first.
