This recent decision affirms people's rights in their homes and other private spaces. The long term result of this ruling will be to draw a line between those rights and other gun-law issues such as the so called right-to-carry. The court gave a strong sign that the right to own arms is going to be defended. Hooray! I predict that this will ultimately result in a strengthening of laws and regulations prohibiting the day-to-day carrying and/or displaying of firearms and other deadly items in the public domain.

I am a strong advocate of the right to own and use firearms. I do not want to carry a gun in public.. I do not want others carrying guns in the general public domain. An America where everyone is locked and loaded is an ugly idea that I completely reject... another ugly concept is an America where individual Supreme court justices are rockstars that publicly promote their decisions and denigrate court rulings they disagree with.. you can get a look at a society like that right now.. Pakistan.. in fact they wander around in public there with all types of weaponry.. a Model for America?

That's a small sample of my opinions on these and other important subjects.

Have a great day!

IMO you went a little far with the "...ugly idea..." and the comparison to Pakistan. There are two states that have always allowed the right to carry a handgun without a special permit. It hardly looks like Pakistan in either.
I carry every day in public and have for years. It's not for everyone and not everyone does even in the two states that allow 'everyone' or the states that have right to carry for that matter. Why anyone wouldn't want trained and willing people to carry their handguns is beyond me. I have no desire to intervene in any way, shape or form; nor would I unless it was life or limb on the line.
