Just to point out the original came from CNN:

Well, that's that. One might argue that if Trump gets re-elected and Ginsburg retires, he will put forward a conservative.
The issues with that is:
1. Will a conservative be progun beyond Heller and home SD? The conservative push is really more focused on sexual issues and immigration. 2nd Amendment is not a priority. So a new justice might not care.
2. Do all the old cases have to resubmitted? Are new ones viable? Given precedent would a new one be take up? Can 5 justices overcome the Chief Justices?
3. If Trump loses, the legislative option is doomed. It was already doomed as the GOP leadership were spineless when they had control. Yes, Obama care and tax cuts were more important - to whom, I ask? The filibuster could have be waved. The Democrats are thinking of doing that if they get simple majority control of the Senate.
4. Perhaps the newer lower court folks will overturn state bans and maybe even a circuit would. We will see.
But remember - send a check!!
I won't see a roll back on restrictions in my lifetime, I'm afraid. Classic, 'elite' conservatives do not have fire in the belly for gun rights. Mitch, Ryan, Bush II, Romney, Bork, Berger, Dole, Bush I, Reagan (on Brady) and others have demonstrated that.
The threat of packing the court is hot air. The threat was not used when the court took up other hot social issues.
