So much for Scalia's much-vaunted "originalism," which advocates reading the Constitution as it would have been understood at the time of the Founding.

While the gun lobby may crack open that bottle of champagne, this is a victory that thrives in theory, but one that, in practice, can only be condemned.

A government that cannot protect people should not deprive them of the right to protect themselves -- and the the D.C. gun ban did just that.
