Ten different guns cases were on the agenda of the justices’ private conference on Friday, where they met to decide which cases they will hear in the upcoming term.

Each of those cases has been considered at one previous conference, a clear signal that there is “serious interest” in hearing them, according to John Elwood, a leading court observer and a partner at the law firm Arnold & Porter. It is possible the court could announce as soon as Monday that it will hear one or more of the cases. If it does so, a decision would be expected by the end of June 2021.

“There’s no question that there are a number of justices who are itching to take another gun case soon, and to almost certainly push for a vast expansion of the Second Amendment in a way that has never been countenanced in American history or law before,” said Jonathan Lowy, the chief counsel at the anti-gun violence group Brady.

“The only question is: How many justices are in that group, when are they going to take that case, and what case are they going to take?” he said.

"...and to almost certainly push for a vast expansion of the Second Amendment in a way that has never been countenanced in American history or law before..." Sphincter say what. Expanding on the definition of the 2nd amendment? Not sure how much more clear it can be there johnny boy. Then again I don't have a law degree so perhaps you have a different dick-tionary than I. Until you can prove this BS----phu cough!

I don't like seeing 2nd amendment cases going before the Souter Roberts court.

[rktman]

There is that. Probably not much chance of them saying-—”Infirnged means you may NOT interfere with firearm ownership in any way shape of form. Close down the NICS and take the F out of BATFE.”.

A meme for you, since I stole the idea from you.

It’s my hope that SCOTUS smacks down the last of those odious “May issue” schemes.

It’s a constitutional amendment, SCOTUS needs to reinforce that.

[rktman]

But, I thought that was pronounced ‘foe’. LOL?

[RBW in PA]

Repeal the Lautenberg amendment...

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Nope.
The Vietnamese noodle soup is spelled “pho” and is pronounced “fuh”.

[G Larry]

Uh...we're not "seeking to expand" 2nd Amendment protections!

We're seeking to have our 2nd Amendment protections RESTORED!!!!!!

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Being a long time Frech coloby, there are a lot of “frenchifications” in the language.

In French the spelling for the number ‘3’ is “trois”.
Pronounced “twah”.

[rktman]

Works for me.😂

[rktman]

Thus, trois-T? For a friend. 😋
