tejek, re: Doesn't the Sup. Ct. still trump the lower courts? Apparently, the lower courts have been building the case that the 2nd amendment meant collective rights since the 1939 SC decision. This new lower court decision throws that SC interpretation into question. They will probably argue this for the next ten years between the NRA and gun control groups and in the lower courts. At some point the SC will have to address the issue and render a decision. Their 1939 statements didn't really address the 2nd amendment directly, the case revolved around a guy with a short shotgun. They used the 2nd amendment to show he wasn't entitled to an illegal weapon because of the 2nd. In other words you have the right to weapons, but the government can limit or remove your right with cause.
