Yes
Here is the way the Supreme Court phrased the granted issue:
“Whether the following provisions — D.C. Code secs. 7-2502.02(a)(4), 22-4504(a), and 7-2507.02 — violate the Second Amendment rights of individuals who are not affiliated with any state-regulated militia, but who wish to keep handguns and other firearms for private use in their homes?”
I don’t see how they can duck on this one, but whatever the outcome, it will be a whole new world after they make their decision.
How did we go from "well regulated", which means able to march as a group and keep internal order, all the way to "state regulated"?
“... whatever the outcome, it will be a whole new world after they make their decision.”
Yup.
Does not address carry outside of the home, unfortunately.
[“Whether the following provisions — D.C. Code secs. 7-2502.02(a)(4), 22-4504(a), and 7-2507.02 — violate the Second Amendment rights of individuals who are not affiliated with any state-regulated militia, but who wish to keep handguns and other firearms for private use in their homes?”]
They better define what “state” “run” and “militia” all mean WRT the several states. Those defs have been the sticking point for the states for one hundred years. If not, I hope they rule that the issue of states rights in the matter are yet to be determined. IOW a very narrow decision (DC ONLY).
Else, when they go with the DC interpretarion, we may be HOSED.
The SC will not address the issue of the right to carry firearms, openly or concealed, in public. Thus leaving for another day, the issue of how far the 2d Amendment goes.
It is unfortunate that the SC will not settle the whole issue all at one time.
It is a narrow question, that begs for a wide opinion...
