Off to read it myself. There opening statement puts this in perspective.

The precise question presented by this case—
whether three District of Columbia Code provisions
violate the Second Amendment—belies its
importance to the liberty cherished by the American
people. If the Second Amendment is interpreted as
Petitioners and their supporting amici prefer and the
District’s laws upheld, the individual right to keep
and bear arms—identified by the Framers, in the
very text of the Constitution, as integral “to the
security of a free State”—will not only be infringed,
but effectively abolished. See U.S. Const. amend. II
(“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the
security of a free State, the right of the people to
keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”). This
outcome would cause grave harm not only to the tens
of millions of law-abiding Americans who keep and
bear arms for self-defense and other lawful, private
purposes, but to the entire nation, which in times of
gravest peril has always relied upon the body of
ordinary men and women, and their everyday
familiarity with arms, for its security.

By the way do you fly?

Unfortunately I did not get through my flight training, soloed, but didn't get through it because I was laid off after 9/11. Havnt gone back, because of work and I am focusing on getting my kit built aircraft done. Which has been the longest project I have ever messed with.

I will be back to finish when the plane is nearing completion though.
