There has been, unfortunately, a LOT of misinformation going around about what the Heller ruling actually does for gunowners.

I've heard people claim that it makes all gun laws in the United States obsolete and that it's going to be murder and mayhem with blood in the streets (guess which side of the debate that person was on). Obviously not true.

And I've heard the equivalent from pro gunners who say they're going to run right out and buy the new cheap machine guns that this law allows. Unfortunately also not true.
