I think that it's essential for citizens to have the option as to whether or not to bear arms.
However, the court, as I've read the opinion has injected something like "equal access"...which doesn't give an open ended means to obtain guns. Each state does impose requirements that should bacially offer equal access via their licensing and in some states like Texas having to attend 140 hour school to carry a concealed weapon.
Some might say that because of the expense of the required school and licensing cost..that in someway is infringing on equal access.
Im not a gun person, but I think maintaining the right to own and bear arms is absolutely essential.
I personally don't want the SCOTUS to be rewritting the Constitution either. As far as I'm concerned the 5/4 decision needs to be a wakeup call to us all about how fragile our Constitutional rights are. That is a big part of this decision for me.
