This is CBS, I'm the World, I'm John Bachelor.

The Wall Street Journal reporting on the Bruin case, the 6-3 decision in the case, New

York State Rifle and Pistol Association Inc, versus Bruin, marks the widest expansion

of gun rights since 2010.

When the courts applied a nationwide 2008 ruling, establishing an individual right of

our self-defense within the home, I welcome Professor Richard Epstein, the over-institution

of Senior Fellow.

He teaches law at NYU in the University of Chicago to comment on the decision of the Supreme

Court 6-3 on the basis of the reading of the Second Amendment of the Constitution, dated

from the late 18th century, and with an addendum in the mid-19th century, the 14th Amendment.

Richard, a very good evening to you.

I see the new case must be explained in terms of two previous cases by Supreme courts that

are not too distant from us.

There's the 2008 case called Heller that was the majority of opinion was written by Justice

Scalia, joined by Alito Roberts, Kennedy, and Thomas in 2008.

In 2010, it was a five-to-four decision, these are five-to-four decisions.

Scalia, again, joined by Kennedy and Roberts and Alito and Thomas.

This decision, 6-3 has new members, Scalia has gone, but you remark in a new podcast that

while you disagreed with the two earlier decisions, you believed that this present

decision, majority written by Justice Thomas, with a concurrence written by Justice Kavanaugh,

is consistent with the plain language of the Constitution and the Second Amendment.

How so, good evening to you, Professor.
