I am not a big gun owner, my collection consisting of an 1863 US Springfield Rifle and an 1873 US Springfiled trapdoor, but this is not something that I am excited about.

It never ceases to amaze me that the people the go frothy talking about the penumbras of the bill of rights are so quick to cut out specific chunks they don't like....

"Although the Constitution does not explicitly mention any right of privacy, the Court had previously found support for various privacy rights in several provisions of the Bill of Rights and the Fourteenth Amendment, as well as in the "penumbra" of the Bill of Rights. But instead of relying upon the Bill of Rights or "penumbras, formed by emanations", as the Court had done in Griswold v. Connecticut, the Roe Court relied on a "right of privacy" that it said was located in the Due Process Clause of the Constitution." (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roe_v._Wade )
