District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), was a landmark case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held in a 5-4 decision that the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution applies to federal enclaves and protects an individual's right to possess a firearm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. The decision did not address the question of whether the Second Amendment extends beyond federal enclaves to the states,[1] which was addressed later by McDonald v. Chicago (2010). It was the first Supreme Court case to decide whether the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms for self-defense.[2]


I copied and pasted this^^^ but I can't use the bold or italics feature on it for some reason. I don't want anybody to think I'm taking credit for this statement.

However, I disagree with your statement Sombrero and this is one of several reasons why I do.

I have re-read that amendment, and still believe that there are two separate issues there.
You may be correct, but I don't interpret it that way.
