“If the court affirms a meaningful individual right, it will be a major legacy of the Bush administration.”

You must be putting sarcasm out there without the tag again. WTF did Bush have to do with this? I’m pretty sure his admin weighed in AGAINST the individual RTKBA.

The brief from Solicitor General said it probably recognizes an individual right, but they were worried about laws that infringe on machinegun restrictions, 1986 FOPA, and the banning of felons, 1968 GCA, IIRC. It recommended remanding it to a lower court, and not using the strict scrutiny normally applied to enumerated rights.
