It doesn't matter. If the SC upholds the law (which is unlikely) the gun lobby will simply find someone more acceptable, and under slightly different circumstances, and bring up another challenge. They'll keep going after gun laws the way the anti-choice side relentlessly attacked Roe.
Because the 2nd Amendment is clear and any gun law is an infringement of the right.
for the purposes of a well regulated militia
Yeah we don't have those anymore chief. We have this thing called a military instead and I already saw your "everyone is a part of the militia" opinion, that's some straight up bullshit.
Their constitution says the US isn't even supposed to keep a standing army. There's lots of discussion about that by the people who wrote it and decided on the specific language.
Also, you're right about the 2nd amendment. The part about the well regulated militia is part of the right, a qualifier, not subsequent.
But, people in the US, both government and citizens, clearly don't follow their constitution very well. It's used to justify whatever they want to do when they can and freely ignored when inconvenient.
Sounds like the Bible.
Tell me about it, I get to suffer living here listening to all of the creative interpretations of the constitution. My favorites are when someone clearly hasn't read it says a quote is in it and says it to me who used to read and carry a copy of the constitution.
