Big Mick, here's my take. There are gun collectors. I see that they feel that if they didn't have the right to own those guns, their right would be infringed. Nevertheless, this ruling will make it easy for bad folks to get ahold of these weapons.

The idea that a handgun is necessary for self-defense isn't correct.

The arguments presented state that certain conditions should be placed on people who own guns. The Supreme Court did not stipulate these conditions. The net effect is that those criminals who want them will get them from those who own them.

The Center for Disease Control in Atlanta has put gun violence on its list of
serious diseases. This was not done capriciously.

The Founding Fathers did not have to contend with handguns, automatic weapons or modern forms of weaponry. The ownership of guns were for the protection against foreign invaders through an militia. This is the meaning of the Second Amendment.

There are certain counties and states where it is legal to carry concealed weapons.
The Supreme Court did not address this issue in detail. I'm not sure where DC is on this.

In fact, there are some places such as Kennesaw, Georgia where it is illegal
to own a gun. This is the height of stupidity.

Washinton DC has one of the highest crime rates in the country. Watch it grow higher
with this latest ruling.
