I suspect that they will either throw out the 2d Amendment altogether, or they will say we have a right in theory, but that the states have broad authority to regulate it.

You can’t predict the outcome of these cases by the comments at the oral argument. In fact, to the degree that you can, it’s usually because they are thinking the opposite of what they are saying.

Sorry, they can't just "throw it out". I don't care what they say they can do.

The ONLY way to change the Constitution is by a Constitutional amendment or Congress can change it - and the amendment has to be ratified by a fixed number of states before it takes effect. The Supreme Court can only INTERPRET the Constitution, the President can only EXECUTE it.....

When it comes down to the Supreme Court "interpreting" the Constitution to the point it becomes null and void, it will be time to take up those arms the Left is trying to ban and fight to keep them, and CHANGE the people in office.
