Well played, Richard!
The pessimist in me believes the lower courts will stall this reaching the Supreme Court until after the next Democrat / Communist is President and has appointed a slew of similarly minded statist justices to the SCOTUS. If it can go wrong, it will go wrong. I am ardently hoping for a restoration of our Constitutionally guaranteed rights as understood by our founders, but hope is not an effective plan.
I get Rex’s point (above) and agree; but, I’ve been waiting for this, or something like it. Restrictions affect every gun owner whether they realize it or not so it makes little sense for the pro-gun organizations we support – you are helping to support them, aren’t you? – to seek resolution piecemeal. It’s well past time for them – and us – to unite and fight as a block.

As my torts professor said once, on a clear day you can foresee forever (about negligence, and foreseeability of injury). I think we can all foresee what a brand new bunch of Leftist judges will be able to distinguish to undo unequal prosperity in favor of impoverished equality.
