Again, as it did in the D.C. gun case, the court said the Second Amendment does not give citizens "a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsover in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose." The ruling also said people with mental illnesses and people with felony criminal records should have limits on their Second Amendment rights.
Of course, the broad group of felons will be comprised of black citizens far disproportionate to their numbers in the population, and not because they're more likely to commit crimes but because they're more likely to get arrested.
