We're excited because the individual's right to gun ownership was upheld. One need only look at the margin to see how crucial this decision is.
This won't end the debate, and it won't end restrictions on gun ownership. But it does limit the reach of government by clearly establishing that absurdly interventionist regulations like D.C.'s are subject to some level of scrutiny.
The argument will continue, but it is nonetheless a great day for individual rights.
