Read this excerpt from the District of Columbia v. Heller majority opinion:
We are aware of the problem of handgun violence in this
country, and we take seriously the concerns raised by the
many amici who believe that prohibition of handgun
ownership is a solution. The Constitution leaves the
District of Columbia a variety of tools for combating that
problem But the enshrinement of constitutional rights
necessarily takes certain policy choices off the table.
These include the absolute prohibition of handguns held
and used for self-defense in the home.3
