    There are going to be challenges to existing gun laws because of the Heller
    decision but don't expect that felons or those with a mental health history
    will be allowed to own firearms. If you have spent time in a "rubber room" you
    will still be restricted to owning a rubber gun.

    Read the decision carefully. It is available at:
    http://www.supremecourtus.gov/opinions/07pdf/07-290.pdf

    Don't expect that unrestricted ownership is now the law of the land should read
    carefully. Read below.
    **********
    DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ET AL. v. HELLER

    "Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited.
    It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any
    manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, concealed
    weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment
    or state analogues. The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast
    doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by
    felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms
    in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or
    laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of
    arms."
