"The New Second Amendment: A Bark Worse Than Its Right"

We get this at SENTENCING LAW AND POLICY.
To date, the lower federal courts have ruled in over 60 different cases on the constitutionality of a wide variety of gun control laws.
.....
The courts have upheld every one of these laws. Since Heller, its Gun Control: 60, Individual Right: 0.
I am very pleased someone else is noticing that lower courts so have have been consistently willing and eager to uphold any and every modern gun control law despite all the sturm und drang about the Heller ruling.
It's too early to gloat butthead. The lower courts are where the game begins not ends. It's the Appellate Courts and above where the final interpretations will be made much as it was with Miller. My prayer is that this time the decisions will be in our favor and the judges will actually read Heller before interpreting it. .
