Gay Republicans Laud Supreme Court Gun Ruling

(Washington) Log Cabin Republicans applauded the U.S. Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling Thursday striking down Washington, DC's 32-year-old ban on hand guns.

The court ruled Thursday that Americans have a constitutional right to keep guns in their homes for self-defense. It was the justices' first major pronouncement on gun control in U.S. history.

The court had not conclusively interpreted the Second Amendment since its ratification in 1791. The amendment reads: "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

The basic issue for the justices was whether the amendment protects an individual's right to own guns no matter what, or whether that right is somehow tied to service in a state militia.

with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. Pp. 2–53."

Note that “such as self-defense within the home” is just one example of RKBA protected by the 2nd.
