Because I like Heller I overlooked what I think of is a problem with Heller in a lot of other decisions in that I don't believe the incorporation Doctrine was intended to incorporate the Second Amendment. Specifically because historically various States had various policies about having their own 2nd Amendment on the books or not.
Part of what he's arguing though about the reason for the Second Amendment seems to call into question Lincoln's war of Northern aggression. Clearly he understands that the states were designed to be Sovereign and that the second amendment was to ensure that that was possible.
Also of course I'm interested in what you think of what he actually was trying to say here as well.
