We can fully expect a 5-4 decision on this one, I’d say. The Clement brief was a plea to keep the current FEDERAL restrictions in place, and at the same time, affirm the individual right to keep and bear arms. That’s a dance step on which the Court may stumble.
IMO, there is no ambiguity in the language of the Second Amendment...
It’s in the tagline.

If they keep some so-called ‘reasonable’ restrictions guidelines, I see a justice or two from the left joining. I am seeing a 7-2 decision. Of course they fooled me on McCain-Feingold though. I figured the left usually took such an extreme view on the first Admendment, how could they? But they did, and it was funny how shocked Dummies were that it was all the lefties who voted for major First Amendment restrictions.

I agree although it might be a 6-3 depending on how narrow the majority decision is. If it is very narrow and relates to being able to keep a gun in your house for self defense - the real question before the court. Then it will be 6-3. Inspite of all of the hoopla the Court was asked a relatively narrow question and all of those who think this case will settle all regarding the 2A will be disappointed.
