Was the majority opinion of the U.S. Supreme Court logical in ignoring the prefatory language about "a well-regulated militia" in it's recently released opinion about the 2nd amendment?
Probably not. Remember, the U.S. Supreme Court has blundered before ( Dred Scott v. Sanford and Plessy v. Ferguson come to mind). Nevertheless, it's probably better to err on the side of individual freedom when it's a question of government power vs. individual freedom. Now we'll await what "reasonable restrictions" on gun ownership will be permitted, and whether those restrictions may vary from community to community.
