Second DC vs. Heller Case Upcoming

[Texas1911]

I was informed that a second possible case is upcoming regarding the 2nd Amendment. This time, it's Chicago, and the plaintiff is being backed by a law firm out of Ft. Worth, TX.

Here's a brief, along with the story from the Ft. Worth Star Telegram outlining the case and the issue itself. The TSRA has stepped up with an amicus brief, and is looking for financial backing. As we all know, these cases are not cheap, and the outcome affects us all.

The Supremes have not yet agreed to hear this case; and I would be very surprised if they do, in light of their very recent Heller ruling.

I agree they will probably decline it stating the matter has been settled in the Heller case. Especially since the Majority opinion stated the the 2A was an individual right besides I always thought federal law superseded state law. I mean if the Feds can still arrest people for buying marijuana in California even if they have a prescription for it, then Heller should apply outside DC and federal property. Probably not the best comparison but I believe its valid. Just my

Just went live on CNN that they are probably taking it.

I think that the bigger issue, by far, is whether the Supreme Court will ever decide whether the 2nd Amendment will be an incorporated clause of the Bill of Rights. It's a long explanation, so I'll take the easy route:

Incorporation (Bill of Rights) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
