"But irrelevant, as the rights protected by the 2nd extend beyond mere militia service."
That is the issue before the U.S. Supreme Court. I wasn't aware that it was already decided.
The Individual Right to Keep and Bear Arms existed prior to the ratification of the Second Amendment, and will continue to exist after it's repeal.
The IRKBA will exist no matter what the Supreme Court rules.
The question is not whether the right exists, but whether D.C. will be allowed to continue to infringe upon it.
Well, the DC Circuit Court already said they couldn't. They said it was an individual right outside of a Militia. They also said it was a fundamental right. They also said that any infringement was subject to strict scutiny.
Not content with this major victory, most on this forum (you included?) wanted to take it before the U.S. Supreme Court for the ultimate showdown. To gain what, exactly?
Keeping in mind that the U.S. Supreme Court likes to keep their decisions as narrow as possible, what are you expecting them to add to the DC Circuit Court's generous decision?
