159. The decision didn't say it's an absolute right.

The existing Federal controls on automatic weapons, state restrictions on concealed carry without a license, etc. are specifically mentioned as being OK. Felons and those adjudicated mentally incompetent are still barred from possessing guns.Sweeping bans on commonly owned guns, and the outlawing of armed self-defense in your own home, are not.
