Alito announces McDonald v. Chicago: reversed and remanded

Gun rights prevail.
The opinion concludes that the 14th Amendment does incorporate the Second Amendment right recognized in Heller to keep and bear arms in self defense

Stevens dissents for himself. Breyer dissents, joined by Ginsburg and Sotomayor.
The majority seems divided, presumably on the precise standard
The majority Justices do not support all parts of the Alito opinion, but all five agree that the 2d Amendment applies to state and local government.
Alito, in the part of the opinion joined by three Justices, concludes that the 2d Amendment is incorporated through the Due Process Clause.
Thomas thinks the Amendment is incorporated, but not under Due Process. He appears to base incorporation on Privileges or Immunities.
The difference between the majority and Justice Thomas doesn’t affect the fact that the Second Amendment now applies to state and local regulation

McDonald v. City of Chicago:  Supreme Court a few minutes ago came down by a 5/4 decision allowing hand guns in any home in the country.  In the majority report it states the 14th amendment confirms the right to bear arms (my words).
