As I understand the Court's opinion, the Second Amendment guarantees that a citizen has the right to "own a gun in the home for self protection." The majority opinion also stated that "reasonable" restrictions could be imposed by governments.

If we get a Democrat congress and a Democrat president, it seems it might be possible to pass a federal law that outlaws all automatic and semi-automatic weapons while allowing revolvers, for example, in the home. Such a law would prohibit the ownership of Lugers ! ! !
