In the Heller decision, Scalia wrote "the 2nd Amendment right to possess firearms does not confer a right to possess any firearm, anywhere, and for any purpose" and some gun regulation is “presumptively lawful.” .....This nugget in the decision is what Conn. used as authority to ban assault rifles in that state and could be used in every state to enforce registration and other gun regulations.

Not that I'm any kind of fa of Scalia but I think he got it right here.
