Re: The 2nd Amendment is alive and well
I just thought of something. As far as I'm aware, the Supreme Court has never "incorporated" the 2nd Amendment though the 14th Amendment, which means that at this moment, the 2nd Amendment does not apply to states and municipalities. DC is a special case because its a federal territory. I suppose its simple enough for the SCOTUS to incorporate the 2nd Amendment, but it is an additional hurdle.
But if the gun rights advocates win in the Supreme Court and get the 2nd Amendment incorporated, then the decision would absolutely have a big impact on California gun laws.
