As mass shootings become an almost ever-present part of the news cycle, the Supreme Court is expected to issue a ruling on a case any day now which “could legalize assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in all 50 states.”

In the case in question, National Association for Gun Rights v. City of Naperville, a gun shop owner and a gun rights group have claimed that two Illinois statutes “violate the Second Amendment,” and now it’s on the shadow docket for the Supreme Court.

But what exactly is the shadow docket? In a nutshell, the high court takes cases on either the merit or shadow docket, and essentially every case you can name, i.e., Roe v. Wade, Brown v. Board of Education, was on the merit docket. While cases on the merit docket require the Court to consider briefs and hold oral arguments before the justices issue a lengthy opinion, “[c]ases on the on the shadow docket…typically do not receive extensive briefing or a hearing

Standard capacity magazines, damnit. At least the author didn’t write ‘clip’.

There's a pending case in Kalifornia that may well ultimately make your dream a reality.

Why is it so difficult for liberals to understand that the right to bear arms is not at the discretion of congress or the supreme court?

I know that "standard capacity" is a snark against "high capacity," but realistically are the 6 round magazines for my LCP and the 30 round Magpul magazines for my AR both "standard capacity?"

I suppose so.

Because they’ve been gaslighted to believe the constitution is a “living breathing document, to be interpreted, as we see fit, for the times”.

The rifles are already legal in all 50 states, some states choose to step on the constitution.

I saw a clip of a biatch claiming to be a civics “teacher” screaming at a guy to show her where it say the word “assault rifle” in the Second Amendment. The guy destroyed the ho with common sense. I wouldn’t have had the patience with the Nazi biatch that he had. I would have just told her it’s right next to ABORTION in the Constitution.

“Legalize?” More like removing unConstitutional infringements, but whatever.

The Supreme Court can allow imaginary leftist talking points?

Mass shootings have gone up over 200% since FJB and his Dung Beetle Party took total control of this country.

Because we are talking about Progressives, no classical liberals.

Progressives, from the beginning of their philosphy, despise the limits on government created with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Antipathy to the Second Amendment is in their DNA.

By liberal standards, the late 1700s built Girandoni would be considered an assault rifle

Good catch- The constitution just Restates that yep- we have a God given right, inalienable right, to self defense- it does not grant us that right- God already granted it

We’re NOT talking about Progressives, or classical Liberals.

We’re talking about Leftists/Socialists/Fascists/Communists/Marxists/Anarchists/BLMers and more.

Democrats, Liberals and Progressives are long gone.
