My grey fear is the possibility of a lefty judge being put in and the new majority unilaterally ending the 2nd amendment on a pretext. The decision would be ignored. People would go to DC and do the unthinkable to the leftist justices with their Now “illegal” guns. That would do nobody any good. And be very detrimental to our side.

The Second Amendment will be very much “in play”.

The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

The left has long interpreted this clear language as actually restricting the keeping and bearing of arms to a government established and controlled militia and not to individuals. This would fly in the face of 200+ years of interpretation and practice but that wouldn’t bother Obama and other authoritarian politicians. However this interpretation may be one vote away from validation by the Court.
