Gun rights extended by Supreme Court 5-4

In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court held Monday that the Constitution's Second Amendment restrains government's ability to significantly limit "the right to keep and bear arms.

Proponents of gun rights say Americans should have the ability to use firearms to hunt and for recreational purposes as well as to defend themselves.

Opponents of gun rights say only members of the military and law enforcement officers should be allowed to have guns. In reality that would mean that only members of the military, law enforcement officers and criminals would carry guns.
