I am fairly optimistic about this, but yes the idea of some of the justices turning this into a policy dispute - acting like legislators, or rather monarchs, again - sickens me.
I won’t even speculate about what could happen should there be an anti-Second Amendment decision, and Hillary in the White House. The action, and reaction, would be chilling.
I think an incorrect decision here might PREVENT a Hitlery presidency. (Not that I want one for that reason.)
Look at it this way..
If the SCOTUS rules AGAINST... imagine the anger of gun owners out there.
It could screw Hillary’s chance of becomong President, since it would creat an issue that would mobilize her opposition BIG TIME.
If the SCOTUS rules FOR the 2nd amendment, then even if Hillary becomes President, she won’t be able to screw with the 2nd amendment.
Its worse than that in states like California that do not have a 2A type-provision in their state’ Constitutions. The Marxist legislature here would waste no time in banning ALL individual gun ownership - followed by an attempt at confiscation.
