Your numbers game doesn't mean much. The Court will not base its decision primarily on that. Even if only two circuits have adopted the "individual right" view, the Court can still side with those two circuits. It has done so in the past on a variety of issues. Also, if you're going to play the circuit game, then historically the DC Circuit carries a lot of weight with the Supremes. The 9th Circuit, well... let's just say not so much.

and the dissent in the 9th circuit's en banc review of Locklear was dead on point wrt the second amendment and the effect of ruling it a collective right on other cherished individual rights.

paulsen is a statist douchebag..don't bother.

watch how he tries to weasel out of my very pointed inquiries to him

he's out of his league in this discussion but just too inbred to realize it.

The race doesn't always go to the swiftest, or the fight to the strongest, but that's the way to bet.

You feel comfortable with those two decisions by those two circuits? You want the U.S. Supreme Court to make a second amendment decision based on only two decisions in our favor? 70 years we've been waiting and you want to move right now -- now's the time?

I don't think so.
