A Rare Victory for the Citizenry

Some may call it a victory for gun owners, but that would be imprecise. Gun owners may or may not benefit from a proper interpretation of the Second Amendment, depending upon their own intentions (and legality) in owning guns. That subgroup aside, it is clearly beneficial to all citizens that to keep and bear arms is recognized as an individual right, which can be abridged only when individuals, through their own actions, lose that right through due process of law.

What's really cool is that this ruling came down from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, a body that has done its part at times to give liberalism a bad name. Perhaps this liberal ruling augurs a rational turning of the tide.
