According to the SCOTUS in Heller and McDonald, it doesn't (as I've stated previously in many other places). The Second Amendment only grants* the right to possess a handgun within the home for purposes of self defense.

Two words: longstanding prohibitions. If that argument doesn't work, then sensitive places is available for some serious bastardization.

*Their word choice and position, not mine.

That's really funny. A home is private property and that's the only place you CAN be barred from carrying an arm - by the owner or lessee.

Apparently nothing protects against judges being magnificently stupid either.

This guy must have been off his rocker!

"The Constitution of most of our states (and of the United States) assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed and that they are entitled to freedom of person, freedom of religion, freedom of property, and freedom of press." Thomas Jefferson

Pfsh. He didn't get the memmo from the other founding fathers apparently.

If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes true. (As long as no one rises to disagree)

Just because 9 intellectual elites who over think everything and have no love for rocking an established boat say it does not make it right. It just makes it law and law, justice and right are quite often not close to being the same.

History teaches us that when the disconnect between law, justice and right gets too broad that people will eventualy take action to eliminate the disconnect.

^^^^ this^^^^
and out founding fathers saw all this coming.
i revert back to my same argument.
"Shall not be infringed upon in any way"

Some individual rights are transportable beyond your house... some ain't. I never have figured out this logic.

This is part of the problem right there. Believing that we receive our rights from the government.
