My question as well.

...though subject to traditional restrictions

"Traditional" meaning what, exactly? That it's a right unless some time in the past somebody decided it wasn't, and then the latter applies? That isn't a legal decision, it's a bit of legalistic mumbo-jumbo.

All Second Amendment cases should apply the standard of strict scrutiny, just like other fundamental rights.
You can’t call a right fundamental then afford the government the power to infringe it using the rational basis test.
We still have our five from Heller and McDonald but I guess the weakest link (probably Kennedy) has made the four on each side too uncomfortable to hear these cases.
Just a hunch.

When I graduated from Law School, back in the Dark Ages, I thought I would be semi-retired by the time I was fifty, sitting in a fighting chair in the well of a 72 ft. Chris Craft Yacht-fisherman out in the the Gulf-stream fighting Marlin and quaffing Veuve Cliquot.

Sadly, it didn't work out that way and I'm still laboring in the pits almost four decades later.

Damn, I love the Law!!!




"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,
the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
