NPOV

I have changed the text that, per the embedded comments, was not sufficiently neutral, and removed the NPOV template. If anyone still thinks that the article does not have a neutral point of view, please explain why in this talk page section, and/or update the article. Thanks. — Mudwater^(Talk) 02:01, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

166.205.8.123 (talk) 14:35, 29 June 2010 (UTC) This quote is clearly not neutral: "Justice Alito, in writing for the majority, incorrectly concluded..." Nor is it correct; a judicial decision is rarely 'correct' or 'incorrect.' The modifier should be removed.[reply]

Also, there are some weasel words and an unfounded, unsourced claim: "Many commentators have pointed out, however, that this ruling effectively legalizes murder." Please remove this quote, as it is neither sourced nor accurate. 166.205.8.123 (talk) 14:35, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Writing Quality Issue

The doctrine of incorporation concerns whether provisions of the Bill of Rights are "incorporated into" the 14th Amendment. This is not common knowledge. Though the article does get around to explaining this, it uses the term "incorporation" more than once before doing so. This is confusing. Agent Cooper (talk) 15:26, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, very little of the terminology pertaining to the Supreme Court is "common knowledge". Relevant to its subject matter, incorporation is a basic term. Install a wiki link on the word to the "incorporation" article, if you feel its not clear enough. Napkin65 (talk) 20:10, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please update article Firearm case law in the United States

Now that we have a court decision, could someone please update the article Firearm case law in the United States with the ruling of this case. ~ Agvulpine (talk) 06:20, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dissenting opinion

We need a report on the dissenting opinion in the article. I may add one later, but not at this time. --AEMoreira042281 (talk) 15:08, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, the dissenting opinions are so incoherent, especially Stevens, that writing a cohesive summary will be challenging. Stevens' opinion doesn't make the least bit of sense at all; Scalia viciously dismantles it in his concurring. Breyer's dissent rehashed the Justice's disapproval of Heller and warned of the dangers of guns, it contains no substantive legal argument. The dissents are shockingly bereft of logic.Andy85719 (talk) 21:09, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Changes

Someone needs to mention that this ruling gives murderers easy access to weapons. --76.77.139.243 (talk) 15:23, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What? I'd like to see the page number where Alito says states should ease weapon access to murderers.Andy85719 (talk) 21:10, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
