If the Second Amendment really means we must go back to the worst days of the wild west with people walking the street with pistols on their hips or rifles strapped across their back - just looking for an insult to start shooting - then, yes, the Second Amendment will become a suicide pact.

The Young decision from the Ninth Circuit is the logical extension of the Heller decision that the Second Amendment confers an individual right to both keep and bear arms. Unless SCOTUS really means for us to all be living in 19th Century Tombstone, AZ then it needs to back away from the sweeping language in Heller.
