Abstract

The article reports that Justice Antonin Scalia has written the majority opinion of the Supreme Court in the case "District of Columbia v. Heller," which overturned the handgun ban in Washington D.C. The decision confirms the right of an individual not only to keep and bear arms, but also the usefulness of the handgun. It also states that the rights conferred by the Second Amendment agrees that some restrictions on gun ownership and use are lawful.
