As reported and covered in various commentaries here on RRND/FND, the US Supreme Court has, for the first time in more than half a century, to hear a gun rights case which actually addresses the meaning and effect of the 2nd Amendment: The District of Columbia’s appeal of a lower court’s ruling overturning that polity’s draconian anti-gun laws. The court’s 1939 ruling in US v. Miller has long been used as propaganda fodder for victim disarmament advocates, even though properly read it affirms the right to possession of any weapon with military utility. What do you expect from the court this time around — and what do you expect the real effect to be? Discuss.
