The Second Amendment has been incorporated by a panel of the 9th Circuit Court, which is seen as a major victory for gun rights.
Eugene Volokh of The Volokh Conspiracy has the story.
But, as Volokh goes further to warn, this may not be the resounding victory gun rights advocates had hoped for. Gun shows lost out as Volokh cites here.
And then there is the broader issue as to whether or not The Second Amendment is incorporated against state and local governments, in spite of the panel's decision.
Volokh goes further to cite the actual wording of a concurring opinion on the panel, which further creates at least some doubt as to the consequences of the Panel's ruling.
