I'm no legal scholar so my focus on this particular case may be unwarranted but a year or two ago SCOTUS voted...9-0...to strike down a Massachusetts law which was a blatant and disgraceful violation of 2nd Amendment rights.

The case is called "Caetano v Massachusetts" and the argument that Massachusetts lawyers made,which was called "frivolous" in the SCOTUS ruling,was the very same one that the Massachusetts Supreme Court made in upholding the law before appeals reached the Federal courts.

Yes, Caetano is a more important case than many believe.

First, because it was a unanimous decision, and second, because it made clear that the Second Amendment is not limited to a particular technology.

Because the case did not involve firearms, it is ignored by many.

I recall case. Caetano v Massachusetts was a major slap down of the Massachusetts court. Here's a Link to the Opinion (PDF). The Concurrence by Alito and Thomas is even better than the opinion itself, as it gives quite a bit more detail.

The decision only dealt with the question of whether stun guns were "arms" under 2A.
