A candidates 2A position is my "litmus test".

If they honestly interpret the constitution and are willing to trust individuals with their own security, they have my support.

Don't fret over this, which is one of the 999 of 1000 cases the SC opts not to hear. Half of those disappoint conservatives, half disappoint liberals.

They would probably wait until a manufacturer is sued and held liable to rule on the law as applied, if that. Why waste the effort on precedent when a political solution is imminent?

Holding manufacturers liable for the illegal acts of their customers may be stupid, but it does not necessarily violate the US Constitution. Arguably (and someone may come up with a good argument to the contrary) to rule such statutes unconstitutional may be judicial activism.

"She seems to be strongly pro-2A."

And this is based on?

Yeah, But by NOT hearing it, they in effect uphold the lower court decision, don't they?

There are 10,000 cases presented to the Supreme Court every year and they grant cert to about 75.
