The logic in the decision is so convoluted as to be tragic if not irrational.

Their position is based upon the fact that the Heller decision refers to the right to self defense being inherited from English law. They then go on to describe how English monarchs controlled the carrying of concealed weapons from 1200 through 1800.

Of course, they conveniently forget that the 2nd Amendment's guarantee against infringement for a personal right was written by men that had recently escaped the tyranny of the same Kings and Queens and wanted to prevent such abuses forever into the future.

Such tortured logic belongs in the Tower of London, not here...
