I, for one, was really happy about the Supreme Court's decision regarding "Heller vs DC". For once---the Anti-Gun crowd has taken a hit, in their claim that the 2nd Amendment wording "Right of The People", does not in fact mean "The People--Citizens--Just Me and You". The Supreme Court has determined otherwise. Not only was this a "Blackeye" for the Anti-Gun crowd, but also a reason of celebration for the Pro-Gun crowd, and indeed, alot of us did celebrate! However--Let's look at this "Victory" very carfully!
The Justices determined that the wording, did indeed refer to the people, giving the people the "Right to keep and bear arms". A more in depth reading of the decision, clarifies the true judgement of the Justices.
1. "...violate the Second Amendment Right of individuals..."
THE COURT RULED TODAY THAT THE SECOND AMENDMENT IS AN INDIVIDUAL RIGHT, AND THE BAN VIOLATED IT.
2. "...who are not affiliated with any state-regulated militia..."
THE COURT RULED TODAY THAT MILITIA STATUS IS IMMATERIAL.
3. "...handguns and other firearms..."
THE COURT RULED TODAY THAT HANDGUNS ARE INCLUDED, THOUGH SOME ROOM WAS LEFT FOR VERY NARROW TYPES OF GUN BANS
4. "...for private use in their homes."
THE RULING TODAY WAS LIMITED TO "IN THE HOME" AS THAT WAS ALL THAT WAS IN FRONT OF THE COURT
This is definitly a victory in our quest for the True wording of the Second Amendment---But the True Battle has just started. San Francisco and Chicago are the first targets of the NRA and Pro-Gun groups. The decision of the Supreme Court will be the focal point of these lawsuits, and you can be certain, that the lawyers for these cities will have one thing on their mind---The Supreme Court ruling Did Not eliminate the power of the States to pass "Reasonable" laws to protect their citizens. What is "Reasonable"? That makes a good question for a Second "Supreme Court Decision".
The fact is--There will be numerous "Reasonable" laws passed, ( Or shall we say Reasonable Infringements ), by numerous Cities and States, using the LOOPHOLE, that the Supreme Court Ruling has provided ( See Numbers--3 and 4 ). This is the upcoming battle, Not a challenge of the Justices decision----a Challenge of what the Justices Did Not Decide.

Can decriminalising be equated to legalising ?
By: R.S. Praveen Raj | 03/07/2009The spirit of the judgement is commendable. The decision is very clear - - -”It will be the denial of social justice and violation of fundamental rights if gays and lesbians are punished for consensual sexual acts committed in private owing to carnal desires, just citing a reason that they have a sexual orientation different from the majority and hence such act amounts to crime”
Section 377 IPC and gay rights
By: R.S. Praveen Raj | 01/07/2009I also agree to the demonstrators that it is time to end the social stigma to the LGBT. However I’m confused with the meaning and spirit of Section 377 IPC and its direct relation to gay rights. While it is necessary to stop viewing gays and lesbians as criminals, repeal of 377 IPC will have serious consequences.
