Last summer,
the Supreme Court, for the first time ever, said the Second
Amendment protects an individual right to own a gun for
self-defense. It was a historic decision that put real limits on
gun control. But gun-rights advocates complain that someone didn't
get the memo—someone named Sonia Sotomayor. Yet as Steve Chapman
writes, Sotomayor's Second Amendment record is a model of judicial
restraint that is entirely appropriate given the Supreme Court's
record.
