By a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court of the United States has overturned the District of Columbia’s 32-year ban on handguns. In the decision, the majority opinion says, unconditionally, that the right to keep and bear arms is an individual right. In the explanation of the decision, the majority opinion, written by Justice Antonin Scalia, the Justices say the much-debated meaning of the Second Amendment could be rephrased to read:

“Because a well regulated Militia is necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.”

In other words, logic demands that there is a link between the stated purpose and the command. Further, the Court cited the language of the First and Ninth Amendment as using very similar terminology, but “unambiguously refer to an individual’s right”.
