The 9th circuit is the court who protects freedom of speech like no other federal court in this country. They also support separation of church and state like no one else. If you want to see a court that actually believes in the constitution, unlike the right wing activist Supreme Court, look no further than the 9th circuit.
The main reason they get reversed so often is because the Supreme Court is so obviously biased toward the right. If you have a fair court and a biased court, it's pretty obvious that the biased court will overturn the fair court whenever possible.
They did not say that guns should be illegal, they said that the constitution allows militias to have guns and does not, in their opinion, guarantee the right of individuals to have guns. This argument is almost as old as the constitution itself. This ruling should not be shocking to anyone who has been paying attention.
Just to be clear, I am not against people having guns, nor is this ruling - it just says that it's ok for the government to prevent people from owning tanks and missiles and nuclear bombs.
