The one thing that most all current, past and potential justices have in common is that it takes a near act of God to overturn precedent. It is not taken lightly, even by those who fundamentally disagree.
For the most part, you're correct. However, Justice Ginsberg has been quoted as having stated that a future, "wiser" court would overturn the bad precedent of Heller. I'm not sure all of the libs on the court would go along with that, but I can see Heller being limited, essentially, to the right to possess some type of handgun in your home, period.

November is important. Don't let anybody tell you it isn't, and don't let anybody talk you out of voting!
