SCOTUS Will Hear NYC Gun Case

I’m wondering the implications.....

[Doc Safari]

This is one case I wouldn't want to speculate about what the outcome might be.

Anybody with some expertise care to predict what will happen?

About time the SC grew a pair and accepted a 2A case.

I have a feeling that this case has the highest batting average of any NY laws thus far. I'm confident this will get ruled the right way. With the exception of Roberts, the 4 conservative justices are pretty reliable on guns, and even Roberts ruled in favor of Heller and McDonald. I'm just not sure how he'll rule on carry outside the home or assault weapons though. This may be a good litmus test to see if the current make up of the court is good for further attempts at challenging anti-gun laws.

I agree with you. Except that I want to see what Kavanaugh will do rather than speculate. I, like everyone else here, would be more comfortable with a Trump nominee replacing RBG first.

I do as well. If they can get a 6th conservative justice, and one that's reliably conservative, Roberts' flakiness will be less of a factor. Kavanaugh, on the other hand, has a pretty pro-gun track record, so I'm not too concerned about him.

Will Amy Barrett be conformed by then?

RBG clearly won’t be weighing in on this one, but what if it’s only 8 justices.

^^^then a tie is the worst that is likely to happen

I would not assume that, she may be back in time.

There may be more than one going before the court...
