The Bill of Rights does not qualify as a novelty. The fact that the commie libs now have to deal with the reality of a right that they were deliberately in denial about for so long as a matter of their own political convenience confers no novelty upon that right. It’s merely their self-serving ignorance that has now been forced to change.
The Second Amendment still says the same thing it always has, but that tired, old, trumped-up, militia canard that the commie libs would trot out to deny freedom to people is gone, gone, gone to the ash heap of history, and good riddance to it! You don’t have to drill on the village green with a musket to be able to legally own a gun, and that’s the law of the land from today forward. Let freedom ring!

This is why written Constitutions are good (US) and unwritten ones (UK) are bad.

Though obviously the shenanigans (DC gun ban) get bad enough where there’s a written constitution to contend with, we’re still better off than the bizzaro world the UK has become.

Sure. To them it’s new (”What is this ‘Constitution’ thingy, anyway? We’ve not heard of that.”)

Surprised, are you?

“The decision threatens to throw into doubt the constitutionality of gun laws throughout the United States,” Justice Stephen Breyer said.

Whch is a GOOD result.

Finally, the right to keep and bear arms takes its place amongst other hallowed institutions the Founders erected, like aborting one’s child, homosexual copulation, habeas suits for terrorists and kid-glove treatment for child rapists. If only they had thought to mention it in the Bill of Rights…

What about the liberal (dervied from teh word liberty) Supreme Court Justice, William O. Douglas, who said in 1963, “the closest the framers came to the affirmative side of liberty was in the right to carry arms.”

It seems today’s “liberals” don’t know their own history
