The Supreme Court is meeting to issue opinions and announce whether it has accepted any new cases.
Major cases still undecided include the rights of detainees at Guantanamo Bay, the ban on handguns in Washington, D.C., and whether people convicted of raping children can be given the death penalty.
The court's term ends in late June.

In those cases, I’m for lifetime torture.
Legal in Idaho and we haven't had a rash of cars driving down the street shooting off their 50 cal mounted guns.

You've been hoodwinked by the gun banners to think it's the gun that is the problem.
Nope.
Although he is wet behind the ears politically, he knows the democrat dogma well which is to take rights away gradually and through proxy so they will get their way eventually after everyone is numb to the constant hum of their persistence.
Glock can’t be kept in your safe, it has to be in different pieces spread out across the house and you have to assemble it to shoot the intruder who wants to harm your family.
A democrat rebuttal to that would be "Well, it takes less time than gluing one inch pieces of a baseball bat back together after getting the pieces and the glue from different rooms of your house and waiting for the glue to dry so yes, we are pro gun". ~snort
Sadly enough they have been good at being so absurd and the absurdity is accepted by many.
Let me sum up my platform.
Detainees at Guantanamo Bay MUST be granted rights equal to those granted to U.S. personnel (including contractors) by Al Quada and Taliban forces.
All U.S. Citizens residing in the D.C. area, if otherwise qualified to carry, are compelled to attend a firearms safety course and upon successful completion will be given their choice of a Beretta 9mm or a Colt 357 Magnum Revolver.
Persons convicted of actual child rape and determined guilty beyond reasonable doubt, excluding certain instances of "statutory rape" to whit an 18 year old boy with his willing 17 year old girl friend are caught in the act of "the horizontal boogie," shall be taken to an area adjacent to the scene of his crime where he or she shall be placed under the tender ministrations of the victims parents and/or other family member(s), guardian(s), etc, for a period not less then five minutes and not more than one hour. Any remaining residue of the perpetrator shall be burned down to ash which will be deposited in the nearest municipal land fill.

Yep! :-) We were talking about Pudge today. He’s still missed here on the farm. :-) I still have the rifle though!
IOW when you told me last night that she meant it when she said it was time for dinner... SHE really meant it!
Paulsen, where have you been?
An armed society is a polite society.

If that was the case, the amendment would say something like "Congress shall make no law..." instead of the blanket prohibition against infringement.
I think only Ginsburg and Breyer will say that. The majority will hold that the D.C. gun ban is unconstitutional. Stevens and Souter will be the only two who say that the 2nd Amendment does not protect an individual right.
The only thing we changed up was to put the Target thumb rest grip on the Hunter Model.
Fun to shoot.
They barely existed when the Amendment was written if at all.
Surely you're not sitting here pontificating on this subject without having the slightest bit of knowledge about it, when Google is free of charge?
Hand grenades were invented in the 1500's, about 250 years before the Amendment was written, in fact. Explosive land mines were used in 1277 - 500 years before the Amendment - in China, even ones detonated autonomously by enemy movement. Fuse-triggered explosive cannonballs, though dangerous to the cannon's operator as well as his targets, were used in the 1400's.
