IMHO, what they did was legislate from the bench, and have effectively rewritten the Constitution to have the Second Amendment simply say "The right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed". It should be remembered that all this decision does is overturn the part of the DC law that forbids intact, unlocked handguns in private homes. I anticipate that the NRA and others will now bring other suits aimed at having all other restrictions eliminated. Hopefully, these will get to the level of the Supreme after President Obama has had a chance to appoint a justice or two.
