[QUOTE="av8torntn, post: 359604, member: 8259"] I can't believe nobody posted this. "The Court took no position on whether the Second Amendment right restricts only federal government powers, or also curbs the power of states to regulate guns. In a footnote, Scalia said that the issue of “incorporating” the Second into the Fourteenth Amendment, thus applying it to the states, was “a question not presented by this case.” But the footnote said decisions in 1886 and 1894 had reaffirmed that the Amendment “applies only to the Federal Government.” Whether the Court will reopen that issue thus will depend upon future cases." “We start therefore with a strong presumption that the Second Amendment right is exercised individually and belongs to all Americans.” [URL]http://www.scotusblog.com/wp/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
