To: 2nd amendment mama

As exciting as this is, to finally get a chance to get the Supreme Court to look at this Amendment...

I am tempered by the fact that this court, as favorable as it looks on the surface is not a lock in our favor...

And that the question posed to the court is extremely narrow, but from our perspective we are expecting or demanding a broad opinion from it...

Some are thinking this could be a 5-4 opinion in our favor, but if it is presented (argued) weakly or incorrectly, it could very easily go 6-3 against us...

I would caution us to be on guard next year when we see what they do with this...

But by then we’ll know what the score is...And we’ll still have our “stuff”...

Like I’ve said before...I hope I am wrong...I’m just not building up too much excitement or hope...

Fear not. It was argued brilliantly below, and the opinion below is extremely solid. All the burden is on DC, and they have no real case. Look for at least 7-2, maybe 9-0. (Or multiple concurrences, all upholding the court below.)
