High court to look at ban on handguns

McDonald's "reasoning" followed Nordyke's misapplication of Heller to the states. What's different?

Something, evidently...

The Ninth Circuit voted to re-hear the case en banc (that is, all eleven judges would review the decision of the three-judge panel), but in light of McDonald, that order has been rescinded and the case remanded to the original panel for reconsideration. Rescinding an en banc re-hearing is an unusual turn of events, but nothing follows the norm in this suit. The panel has asked for further briefing from the parties, indicating that it may reverse itself on the constitutionality of the gun-show ban.

Yes, but speculation in advance of court action can be fun.
I remember just a few years ago you were speculating that a win in the Heller case would spell the end of concealed weapons laws:

Would your progressive scheme to impose a nationwide concealed carry ban in the name of the 2nd Amendment be an example of "progress"?

And so was paulsen, who I would ping if he were still around...

Exactly. Just like the U.S. Supreme Court used the first amendment to protect us from hearing that boring political speech in the months preceeding an election. And isn't it wonderful that all states must allow nude dancing and flag burning because that IS protected speech.

Or how they protected us from those religious zealots who want to establish religion by keeping "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance or setting up a creche at Christmas Winter Holiday Season in the town square, or invoking God's name at high school commencement.

Yep. I think we can expect those same justices to expand our gun freedoms. There's no way they're going to rule that "keep" means keep in a state armory, or that "bear" does not mean concealed carry, or that "arms" do not include handguns.

No way.

Sarcastic but unintentionally right on the handguns being protected in the home. Of the 8 or so cases mentioned in the linked article above, it seems all of them are attempting to attack gun laws, and none at all seek to ban concealed carry. When are we going to see that happen?

Actually, I was taking a liberal/libertarian poster, who constantly cites a Georgia decision (Nunn) holding that banning concealed is consistent with the 2nd Amendment, to task. I disagreed with his nonsense. Do you?
