They need to atone for the eminent domain ruling.

I would advise Secret Service protection for Scalia, Thomas, Roberts, and Alito, at least. Can we get a volunteer crew of food tasters?
One wonders if the SCOTUS will cop out with a narrow ruling that only applies to DC.

There been a controversy over whether the Second Amendment grants an individual right or whether it grants a collective one. The weight of American history and legal doctrine favor the former. Its hard to see how you can carve out an exception to the Second Amendment when every other amendment in the Bill Of Rights is clearly about individual rights.

Let's emphasize the question here:
Whether the following provisions D.C. Code secs. 7-2502.02(a)(4), 22-4504(a), and 7-2507.02 violate the Second Amendment rights of individuals who are not affiliated with any state-regulated militia, but who wish to keep handguns and other firearms for private use in their homes?
Indeed, the question is rather narrow - without being unfair. This could well establish grounds for "incorporation" and overturning 922(o).

They’ll have to atone for a lot more if they rule that there is one lone amendment out of ten that does not apply individually.

If we get a fair ruling on the meaning of “the people,” then it wouldn’t be too much more work to get a fair ruling on the meaning of “infringed.”

Seems they agree it is an individual right.
