Without having read the opinion, I respectfully disagree with your viewpoints. I'm going to presume that the law only allows individuals standing to sue. An elected official is not an "individual" under the law. I have some experience with this - I am an elected official and tried to initiate a lawsuit with my elected office as the Plaintiff. Judge tossed it - rightly - because the statute under which we were operating only allowed individuals to initiate the lawsuit. I see parallels here.

So while federal judges engage in outrageous political acts on a seemingly daily basis, I don't believe this decision should be lumped in with those. Remember that the law can be very nuanced.

Pray tell me then how does the federal government have standing to sue individuals; but citizens can’t sue the government? Where’s the logic there?

That’s exactly my point. “Standing” wasn’t a factor in forming my opinion. Judges with an agenda was. And, the 2nd amendment shouldn’t be “nuanced” as it has been repeatedly by the courts. “Shall not be infringed” is pretty unambiguous.
