2019-05-14 | John Paul Stevens: The Court Failed on Gun Control - The Atlantic

'When I joined the Supreme Court in 1975, both state and federal judges accepted the Court’s unanimous decision in United States v. '

' Most, if not all, of those regulations would violate the Second Amendment as it was construed in the 5–4 decision that Justice Antonin Scalia announced in Heller on June 26, 2008. '

'Heller, which recognized an individual right to possess a firearm under the Constitution, is unquestionably the most clearly incorrect decision that the Supreme Court announced during my tenure on the bench. '

'Boston’s gunpowder law imposed a 10-pound fine on any person who took any loaded firearm into any dwelling house or barn within the town. '

'Throughout most of American history there was no federal objection to laws regulating the civilian use of firearms. '
