Backwards. It's a difference of Constitutional interpretation that has become politicized. The Constitutional language is clear -- and the Court's decision was the correct one. In changing times and situations, the correct path isn't to change the interpretation of the Constitution, but to change the Constitution itself -- if things have really gone so far afield from the founder's intent, with more powerful weapons, then a Constitutional Amendment is the procedure to clarify or update the language -- not simply reinterpreting it based on who's in political power at the time.

This isn't simply because I agree with the decision. There are any number of cases that I disagree with the outcome, but agree they're the right decision under the law and Constitution.
