Second Amendment Does Not Establish Unrestricted Access to Firearms

The U.S. Supreme Court’s 2008 District of Columbia v. Heller decision, authored by conservative justice Antonin Scalia, makes it clear, in no uncertain terms:

“the right was not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose.”

“nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions … or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools … or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.”
