[QUOTE="rbstern, post: 2862266, member: 40553"] It seems that the MA law against stun guns is effectively nullified by this ruling. I assume the plaintiff will ask the Massachusetts court to overturn the conviction on that basis. Pretty sure they'll have to, since SCOTUS basically told them their heads were up their arses when they upheld the conviction. The SCOTUS decision includes a grant of [I]in forma pauperis[/I], which means the plaintiff (the defendant in the original case) doesn't have to bear the costs of appeal. In a nutshell, SCOTUS is saying to the MA court: "This decision was so poorly reasoned and out of step with what we just recently ruled in Heller, if you don't fix this, we will." [/QUOTE]
