We know Roberts is a vote against the 2A and along with the leftist side of the court.

Grayling, why do you say this? When has Roberts made a decision on gun rights that leads you to this conclusion?

Firearms Policy Coalition and Firearms Policy Foundation filed an excellent amicus brief, showing any number of important questions that closely relate to the whole issue. Finally addressing them would, in theory, sort out a lot of inconsistencies between Circuits. Sadly, SCOTUS is refusing to answer them yet again.

Petition GRANTED limited to the following question: Whether the State’s denial of petitioners’ applications for concealed-carry licenses for self-defense violated the Second Amendment.

That’s nice, but that isn’t the question that petitioners asked:

Whether the Second Amendment allows the government to prohibit ordinary law-abiding citizens from carrying handguns outside the home for self-defense.

By changing it from a question about law-abiding citizens carrying in public, to denial of licenses Period — no mention of “law-abiding” people carrying — the InJustices can now say, Gee, states have to be able to deny some licenses, otherwise prohibited persons could apply and get licenses. No one wants that to happen.

They’ve dodged the entire issue of denial of rights based on an arbitrary you didn’t show good enough need to carry a gun. The point of contention was shall versus may issue, and if the Second Amendment applies outside the home. Now it’s is licensing constitutional?
