"The Supreme Court will deal with it one particular case at a time. That's the way they work."

I hate to lay some praise on the very liberal Warren court. But they were the last ones to see that cases had impact larger than the litigants themselves. The problem is they overcompensated on so many things, from abortion to criminal rights. The Burger and Rehnquist courts seemed to love taking a limited view of things, almost as though SCOTUS was an appeals court.

I'm no expert on either SCOTUS or the 2nd Amendment (nor should I have to be). I'm not in the NRA. I don't own a gun. But it seems to me that the court has an opportunity here to clarify a HUGE issue. I appreciate what you are saying about the process via the states. I just honestly don't have any faith in the Court to rule in any kind of sweeping way.

Artemis, we might as well know one way or another whether or not SCOTUS is going to screw us. Waiting doesn't help us.
