"...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 |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
