I know there are already pending 2nd Amendment cases, so I don't expect the level of scrutiny to be decided anytime soon.



However, does this statement from Alito foretell that we may get Strict Scrutiny for the 2nd Amendment?

"It cannot be doubted that the right to bear arms was regarded as a substantive guarantee, not a prohibition that could be ignored so long as states legislated in an evenhanded manner," wrote Justice Samuel Alito.
