Ther decision is not really anything earth shattering. I think most people already knew that an total ban on all handgun ownership was not going to pass muster. Also, the law was somewhat silly because you could keep your gun if you owned it before the law was passed and you could have shotguns and rifles. Also, the law did not work because crime went up after it was passed.
In the end, guns do not kill people, people kill people. So, if they would do something radical like actually enforce the gun control laws already on the books, it would go a long way to preventing people killing people with guns.
Personally, I think you ought to have to re register your handgun every year and simultaneously let the police do a balistics test every year.
