In my opinion what's going on is this. If the court rules a collective right (that it protects only individuals who are part of a Militia), gun owners are going to go crazy. There may even be talk of judicial impeachment.

If the court rules an individual right that cannot be infringed, that opens the machine gun/asault weapon argument and the gun controllers will go absolutely ape$hit. There may even be talk of judicial impeachment.

So, with a wink and nudge, the fix is in. It will be declared an individual right that may be reasonably regulated or, as Justice Stevens opined, "It shall not be unreasonably infringed".

I think that is what the final decision will say. It really wont change or settle anything.
