I’m quite pleased with this ruling, now we need to go back and look at all the anti-gun rights stuff Obama has done over the years and use it as a whip to get the gun owner pissed off about this guy.

It is a mixed bag indeed but, IMHO, we are fortunate that this case came before them when it did. If Obama should be elected president, you can bet that the justices he will appoint would not uphold the rights of the individual vs. the power of the state.

This scotus is clearly a mixed bag.
