308. Good decision, now on to other bans/infringements
"if we were the world's largest distributor of pr0n would that have any bearing on SCOTUS cases regarding freedom of speech?"

We're not?!?!

What bothers me is that the decision was 5-4 and that Obama supports a new AWB. I don't like how Bush-like McCain is but I also don't like Obama's anti-rights stance when it comes to the 2A.

So far the Brady Campaign and Diane Feinstein have made statements that they will have to find other ways to restrict guns. I guess it will remain a wedge issue as they are not going to lay off. Chicago Mayor Daly is in meltdown. If this decision would have put this issue on the back burner in November these people are going to drag it back to the front burner.

Interestingly CNN just made a statement that inferred that Internet sales of guns are unregulated. Apparently they are unaware that all state and federal laws apply to Internet sales, background checks and such.
