i don't think the Second Amendment deals with the protection of your home against intruders as much as the right of people to have law enforcement that is NOT state-imposed. It's a much broader concept, and limiting the right to bear arms to the need for protection of your home you actually support the arguments of the law-makers who passed the law and the 4 dissenting Justices who want to say to you "Let US get professionals to protect you. You don't need a gun. WE will have guns and ensure your safety". That's actually a good argument to make and that's why the Supreme Court is leaving the door open to limiting the gun possession. The fundamental civic right, however, is the individual's right to defend his/her life, liberty and property against ANYONE, be it a foreigner, intruder or the state. FYI - the original drafters had the "State" in mind.
