ROBERT LEVY: “Fortunately, Heller presents the Supreme Court with another opportunity to declare its allegiance in the battles between the written and ‘living’ Constitutions. The text of the Second Amendment clearly protects the right of ‘the people’ – not states, not militias, but ‘people’ to ‘keep and bear arms.’ By striking down the D.C. gun ban, the Supreme Court can affirm that basic principle and restore the Second Amendment to its rightful place of dignity within the Bill of Rights.” I certainly hope that it does so.
