I think this may have a silver lining.

If it goes to SCOTUS, we will know exactly where we stand. The problem with so many of the attacks on the 2A is the studious silence from the high court. Depending on the administration, the enforcement of unjust laws and the creation of new ones ebbs and flows. To me, this is living in a fool's paradise.

A favorable verdict that kills this avenue of the left once and for all would be good, but a decision that holds the manufacturers liable for ensuing criminal use of arms will define the governments view on a slew of related cases. If that happens, 2A enemies will clearly define themselves even to those that now imagine 2A rights safe.

In these times, I prefer legal clarity and illuminated enemies to those that merely pretend to be pro-2A.

Ummmm. The point of the article is that it did go to SCOTUS, and SCOTUS refused to hear it.

So, where do we stand?

I think a SCOTUS decision may be a good thing.
