And accurately, too! See June 27, 2008 Idaho Statesman:
But no one was more pleased than Horseshoe Bend resident Clayton E. Cramer, a software engineer who has written three books on gun history.
Cramer was thrilled to learn that a paper he co-authored - "What Did 'Bear Arms' Mean in the Second Amendment?" - was cited in Justice Antonin Scalia's 64-page majority opinion. (Check out page 15).
"It's a wonderful thing. I wrote my second book with a day like this in mind," said Cramer, who worked with Academics for the Second Amendment attorneys on their friend-of-the-court brief supporting Dick Heller, a D.C. security guard who wanted to keep a handgun in his home for protection.
"I wanted to put together information to provide support to the Supreme Court to make a decision like this."
The title of Cramer's second book is "For the Defense of Themselves and the State." It is a history of how the courts have interpreted the right to keep and bear arms.
...
Cramer expects the ruling will lead to gun ban challenges in other cities, such as Chicago and Morton Grove, Ill. Restrictive licensing statutes may be targeted as well.
