5-4 on the good side?

What's the over/under?

This could be a landslide.

5-4 on the good side?

My take: I can't imagine how anyone could read the Second Amendment and not arrive at an individual rights interpretation. It takes quite a bit of self deception and outright stupidity to interpret the amendment in any other way.

Arguments that the Second Amendment are no longer valid in today's society are more plausible, but still readily fail under scrutiny.

I fully expect the SCOTUS to uphold the DC Circuit Court's ruling. It appears likely that it will end up being a 5-4 decision but I really hope that it's 9-0 or maybe 8-1 with someone being selected to write a dissent just because it would look bad without one.

I sincerely hope we don't have any justices on the SCOTUS that are too stupid to read and understand a simple sentence.

The supreme court is not a lock in our favor...It could very easily go 6-3 against us because of the narrow premise/nature of the question...

Kennedy being the swing vote on this, and Roberts stating a while back something to the effect that its not very clear, and needs to be reviewed...

I don’t see a 5-4 in our favor more than it going 6-3 against...

But like I’ve said before, be careful what you wish for...

I hate to be such a negative nancy about this, but I’d rather not get my hopes up and be wrong than think this is a lock for us and lose...

I hope I am wrong...

But the narrow line this question rides doesn’t give me a warm and fuzzy at all...

But don’t go out and start buying PVC and all sorts of long term storage stuff...Thats a waste of time and effort when you should be keeping the stuff close by...Yeah, it stinks, but we didn’t bring this on...Somebody believes this is the best time to do this...Part of me agrees, but part of me believes this is going to be teeth gnashing time for individual citizens in this country...

And if they want this to coincide with an General Election...So be it...

This is going to be a defining time in this country along with a bunch of other issues that are long overdue to be resolved...

And if the liberal/socialist movement in this country thinks its a good time to “git er dun”...

Either way, I am sure they are going to be surprised by the outcome, either way...

That would solely depend upon which way Kennedy flops.

A fragile reed upon which to pin one's hopes, I fear.

Kennedy could see his inside-the-Beltway social life evaporate if he decides the "wrong" way...
