The Supreme Court set up a historic decision on gun control Wednesday, saying it will rule on whether restrictive state and local laws violate the Second Amendment right to gun ownership that it recognized last year.The 5 to 4 opinion in District of Columbia v. Heller did not address the question of whether the Second Amendment extends beyond the federal government and federal enclaves such as Washington.Most court observers say they think that the five justices who recognized the individual right will also find that the Second Amendment applies to state and local governments, a move that could spark challenges of state and local laws governing gun registration, how and when the weapons can be carried, and storage requirements -Washington Post

This should be an interesting and imiportant case.  I have long felt thatl state and municipal laws infringe on the right to keep and bear arms.  I cannot see anything in the 2nd Amendment that permits states and municipalities to require permits of any kind or restrict posession of guns to any class of person.
