The only consistent thing about the Supreme Court is that it is inconsistent and is constantly changing precedent. Not that I disagree at all on this particular case, I agree with this decision except that it didn't go far enough.
"Justice Samuel Alito, in dissent, complained that the decision upsets police practice that has developed since the court, 28 years ago, first authorized warrantless searches of cars immediately following an arrest."
So the old Supreme Court precedent on this issue died at age 28. Everyone hail the new precedent.
What does this have to do with guns? Remember, Heller is 5-4 stare decisis too.
