I was thinking last night about possible scenarios following from the SCOTUS ruling this summer.
One of the things I wonder about is when they rule that firearm ownership is an individual right that shall not be infringed, how far will they go in that ruling? Will they go so far as to overturn past gun control statutes, or will they just rule that RKBA is an individual right, not a collective one and stop there?
If they stop there, how much could that ruling be used as ammo for the NRA or others to challenge existing gun control legislation? Could a favorable ruling by the Supreme Court realistically make it possible to overturn the 1934 NFA, the GCA of 1968 or the Hughes Amendment to the FOPA of 1986?
We have the potential to be heading into some very good times. How much of a kick in the balls would it be to Hillary to head into the White House with a SCOTUS ruling like that staring at her? Try to take our guns now, Bey-otch!
Don't take this as head in the sand, rose colored glasses, blind optimism. I know it could play out a LOT differently that that. I'm just thinking aloud about our best-case scenarios.
