decision that said gun laws have to have roots in an historical tradition but in its 8:1 ruling the justices said the lower courts misunderstood the government has always been able to disarm people who are dangerous since the founding our nation's firearm laws have included Provisions preventing individuals who threaten physical harm to others from misusing Guns Chief Justice John Roberts wrote
