BUT, I'm saying the second amendment doesn't do that today. Futhermore, even if the Heller court rules it an individual right for every citizen, that still won't put an M-16 in every household.

It's a step along the way. Do you see any potential benefits to having the SC hear the Heller case?

"Do you see any potential benefits to having the SC hear the Heller case?"

Only the one I mentioned: If they find that the second amendment protects an individual right and they don't incorporate.

Since that decision only affects DC residents and still allows the federal government to regulate their weapons and require registration, it's a very small benefit.

Nowhere near what there is to lose.

Do you see it any differently?
