WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court today for the first time ruled that the Second Amendment to the Constitution protects the right of individuals to own a gun for personal use.
In a 5-4 decision, the justices struck down a District of Columbia law banning handgun ownership and requiring that rifles and shotguns kept in private homes be unloaded and either disassembled or protected by a trigger lock.
