IIRC, the Ninth Circuit has ALREADY ruled that there IS no individual RKBA, while (I think) the Sixth Circuit has ruled that there IS such a right. Both (different) judgements apply in the areas of jurisdiction of the two Circuits.
Eventually, the Supremes are going to HAVE to rule on this issue, which is why getting more conservative, strict-constructive Justices on the Supreme Court is essential. We could use at least two more Scalias.
The 9th and 5th are currently in contention on the 2A. The 9th holding a "collective"/socialist view and the 5th getting it mostly right by stating it is an Individual Right. As it should be.
Correct. It may be awhile, though, SCOTUS has dodged this since the thirties. Thomas, Roberts, and Alito I believe are excellent appointments and on the side of 2A, as well as Scalia. Two more would be a steamroller, but none would make things shaky, so that is why I think everybody wants to keep 2A out of Federal court just now. A SCOTUS decision upholding an absolute individual right would invalidate a huge amount of gun control legislation in all 50 states.
I was willing to replace Ruth "Buzzi" Ginsberg with Ann Coulter so the opinions are fun to read, but W wouldn't ask her to resign for me.
