(This is from The Patriot Post.) Fellow Patriots, In the most important Supreme Court decision of the decade, District of Columbia v. Heller, a majority of justices ruled today that the Second Amendment (http://PatriotPost.US/histdocs/constitution/bill_of_rights.asp) is indeed constitutional. Not only that, but they reaffirmed that the right to keep and bear arms is an individual right, and that the District of Columbia's ban on handguns is unconstitutional. The Court was split 5-4, with Justice Antonin Scalia writing the majority opinion. "Logic demands that there be a link between the stated purpose and the command," Justice Scalia wrote. "We start therefore with a strong presumption that the Second Amendment right is exercised individually and belongs to all Americans." Justice Scalia was joined on the majority opinion by Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Anthony Kennedy, Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice Samuel Alito. We at The Patriot Post applaud the Court's majority in deciding that the Second Amendment means what it actually says, but we need to continue to urge our legislators to do the same. To that end, we invite you to sign The Patriot's petition affirming the Second Amendment's individual "right of the People to keep and bear arms." If you have not already done so, I urge you to sign this petition today -- right now, please. We need more than 100,000 signatures in order for this petition to be given the attention it deserves from national leaders.
