There is no reason to hear it.
It’s a Constitutional Right.
I’d rather they NOT hear it and focus on fuzzy issues.
Sure its a Constitutional Right but I have to jump through hoops in order to be able to get a target permit. In order to get a carry permit here in NY, I would have to walk on water. It's my hope that this would be able to strike down these ridiculous gun laws.
Yes, there is a reason to hear it.
The SCOTUS, as a matter of policy, will hear cases where there are differing opinions on the subject matter out of two or more of the US Circuit Courts.
In this case, we have exactly that issue. We have decisions out of the Fifth Circuit Court and the DC Court that the Second Amendment recognizes an individual right, and we have a decision out of the Ninth Circuit Court (where else?) that the Second Amendment is a collective right.
This sort of variance between circuit courts almost always will result in a properly constructed case being heard by the SCOTUS. There cannot be two sets of case law in the land in differing areas of the country.
It’s a Constitutional Right.
Exactly! What's to decide? It is explicitly stated in the 2nd Amendment. It scares me that we even have to think about this. Why have a poll? Who cares what a "poll" says. It is our God-given right.
I’d like to think that such a case, even if they were stupid enough to hear, would be decided in no time.
I agree, better to spend time on things less clear-cut. That’s the core of their duties after all.
