In an appellate decision, the 5th Circuit included a very well reasoned and well documented opinion that the right to keep and bear arms is an individual right.

About the same time, the 9th Circuit ruled the opposite, and, without any statement of facts, simply stated that there was no individual right to keep and bear arms.

That probably sets up a question for the Supreme Court.

The 9th Circuit is the most overturned appellate court in the nation. MOST of their decisions that get appealed get overturned.

BTW, I got a chance to read the Firearms Owners Protective Act the other day. It really gave BATF a swift kick in the butt. The grounds for revoking an FFL were severely limited, the definition of a firearms dealer was narrowed (you are much more free to sell parts of your personal collection than BATF would have you believe), and people prosecuted for violations of certain federal firearms regulations are entitled to have their legal fees paid by the government, whether they are found guilty or not.
