I cannot imagine the Supreme Court possibly getting this right.

I’m sure the dissent will be a thrill to read, but that’s cold comfort.

I hope your good feeling is correct. This case scares me to death...imagine the possibilities. The court strikes down the 2nd ammendment as an individual right and then the evil one is elected President....how long will our rights continue to exist. Fear the government that fears your guns!

Be careful what you wish for. We know how four people per "side" are going to feel about this, but who knows about the swing vote? He (Kennedy) may have had a negative experience with privately held firearms. I note that he had some connection with the California National Guard (which, again, could be a good or a bad thing), but in the world of precedence, you usually only get one bite at the apple. I hope Kennedy's alleged conservative and libertarian impulses come to the fore, and that he takes the time to read and consider what the Founders said about their Amendment. Of course, whatever is decided cannot erase the fact that Mr. Madison, et al, regarded keeping and bearing arms as an inalienable right.

I hope you are right.

Nope. This is probably not good news. The supremes could have left the lower court decision intact. It was a good decision.

It takes four justices to grant certiorari--to take a case. If the lefties voted for it, it means they think they have a majority for eliminating the second amendment. I'd be surprised if the conservatives voted to take it as the lower court decision was correct.
