        Heller states explicitly that this is not an unlimited right. Bans on assault/military style weapons could absolutely be enacted.

        Hasn't Scalia effectively modified 2A by decree? If a private right exists apart from a Militia, let them get it modified formally.

        Unfortunately, those clutching their guns while everything else is being taken away from them, think God gave them the right to carry assault weapons. I missed that passage in the bible. I only remember "Thou shalt not kill".

        2. The additional power/latitude. This ruling overturned over 200 years of SCOTUS rulings. The biggest obstacle to effective gun control is 50 states each having different gun laws. If it's hard to get a gun in Chicago Illinois, I can drive into Indiana & purchase one easily.

        1. In my opinion for over 200 years SCOTUS rulings limited the power of federal gov. to regulate gun ownership. However, these same SCOTUS rulings provided more latitude/power to state & local gov. to regulate gun ownership. The 2008 Heller case stripped the states & local gov.
