Down To The Wire @ SCOTUS
This morning, the Supreme Court announced decisions in three cases, sadly none of which impact the Second Amendment. Meanwhile, gun rights advocates anxiously await decisions in both Wolford v. Lopez and U.S. v. Hemani, not to mention a decision on granting cert in Duncan v. Bonta. But when will they come?
With this morning’s announcements, the Court now has an estimated 23 decisions to announce in cases heard this term. Last year, the term ended June 27th, so that some time in the next three weeks we’ll have a LOT to talk about.
Will “sensitive places” statutes be struck in Wolford? Will the Hemani decision limit government’s power to disarm citizens? Will Duncan (or a similar case) finally be taken up to define what qualifies as an “arm”?
In deciding cases, the Court also may clarify the standard laid out in Bruen, emboldening challenges to onerous gun restrictions like the “safe handgun” roster and California’s bans on suppressors, ammo, and standard capacity magazines.
In short, we are nearing a historic moment in our battle to protect the right to keep and bear arms. Stand with us!
