I simply cannot understand how the majority found no infringement

It's called judicial activism -- the theory that judges know better than the legislature what's good for us sheeple. The most egregious example I can think of is in Mississippi, where the State Constitution very plainly says that a firearm may be carried openly, but not concealed. Obstructionist judges have ruled that if
any part of the firearm is not visible to a law enforcement officer, the firearm is concealed. In other words, the only way to legally openly carry a firearm in Mississippi is to carry it by a pencil in the barrel. Even holding it between one's thumb and finger "conceals" part of the firearm, making it prohibited without a license.
That was changed by recent statutes defining "concealed" but that statute was overturned by some activist judge because it was "vague."
