The decision was a 5/4 split right along liberal/conservative lines
*If the minority had prevailed here it would have meant that the 2nd Ammendment is NOT an individual right.
I actually read the opinion and the dissent. The thing that really troubles me is in the dissent. The four Justices conclude that there is no individual right to own a gun and that the Constitution only guarantees that right to State sponsored Militias. That leaves the real big issue somewhat open for another day.
Imagine, a "free" state where a man (or woman) can not own a gun as a right!?
