The US SC refused to hear what many considered to be a seminal and valid RKBA/2nd Amendment case from California. The case was Silviera vs. Lockyer and was discussed here.

In this case the 9th Circuit (with the majority opinion writen by Reinhardt) held that.... "Because the Second Amendment does not confer an individual right to own or possess arms, we affirm the dismissal of all claims brought pursuant to that constitutional provision."

"does not confer an individual right"

What? Gun owners must belong to a group to have any right to keep and bear arms? Democrats think there's nothing other than "group rights!"

Individuals might as well not exist except to form idiotic "groups" controlled by some outcome based consensus process instead of the democratic process!!!

They told me they don't like the democratic process because it creates "winners and losers" and they just don't think that's fair. I've noticed that courts causing the same thing doesn't bother them one whit, however.
