Given the current insanity on the Supreme Court, do we really want them taking any of these cases right now? I would argue... yes. No government, once it has siezed a power, has ever given up that power without some drastic measures being taken. The Founders warned us of this. The last 70 years, from the Miller decision to the Brady Bill, has seen nothing but the incremental destruction or our Right. The only way to wake enough people up is a quick smack to the back of the head.
The wrong ruling from the Supremes could be just the "smack" we need.

Walton ruled that the Second Amendment is not a broad-based right of gun ownership. "The Second Amendment does not confer an individual a right to possess firearms. Rather, the Amendment's objective is to ensure the vitality of state militias," Walton wrote. There it is, in black and white.
