Didn’t the Heller decision establish that the public could own commonly owned guns?
Yes, it did.
But the appeals courts are refusing to enforce that, claiming they can use “intermediate scrutiny” to say any gun the legislature lables as “unusual” and “dangerous” can be banned.
Two cases have been appealed to the Supreme Court, the supreme court refused to hear both of them.
A new justice may tip the balance so the Court will do its job and enforce the Constitution.
