I was speaking with Dave LaCourse of the SAF (Second Amendment Foundation) on Tuesday afternoon, and they have filed an amicus brief with the SCOTUS on this Bean case, which, according to him, the SCOTUS has already agreed to hear starting in October. So far, they are the ONLY organization to file an amicus brief based on Second Amendment grounds.

Whether or not the SCOTUS agrees to hear the case on those grounds is still up in the air. Given their lack of gonads displayed to date, I'm not holding my breath, but here's some info for y'all:

If Mexicans were allowed to own guns they might actually do something about their corrupt and ossified government instead of throwing their hands in the air and striking north.
