[QUOTE="omegis13, post: 700073, member: 4945"] Anyone here actually read the 7th circuits ruling for the case? I've skimmed a bit of it, and it's not that badly written, and is actually quite appropriate. In the Heller decision, Scalia makes it very, very clear that the ruling is in reference to federal regulation of firearms and by no means acts to incorporate 2A via the 14th Amendment. Additionally, every case of incorporation I find reference to is a SCOTUS case, not a case that ended in the circuit courts, which leads me to believe that as a form of precedence, it is the duty of the Supreme Court to handle the matter, and the circuit courts to then enforce. While the 9th circuit seems to have already ruled that the second amendment is applicable state and local government, this may have never been intended in their ruling, seeing as they still upheld the ruling regardless of their feelings on 2A. Also, as already stated, this ruling as well as the Nordyke ruling from the 9th circuit seem to be in conflict, which makes it even more likely that the Supreme Court will this case. [/QUOTE]
