"For example , Scalia stated in Heller : `` Nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on long-standing prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill , or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings , or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms. ``"
"That 's because these questions were never , ever , EVER raised in the original Parker case . None of the six DC people who took the city to court possessed a felony record , they did n't bring up anything other than the fact that DC made it impossible for them to legally buy and own a handgun . That 's all the court addressed . If they addressed anything else in the Heller case it would 've been judicial activism , legislating from the bench ."
"the mentally ill , or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive"
