That's easy when you have the right printing press ...
Well, that and frankly I think there's a lack of intestinal fortitude in the sense that they love avoiding extremely controversial issues at nearly all costs. It almost seems like they only take up things like RKBA cases because they would be embarrassed if they didn't. For example with Heller there was a bunch of press surrounding the case even in legal circles, even a bunch of liberal types that hate guns but respect the law also were more or less forced to say that the case had legitimacy behind it. So the justices would have looked like a bunch of *******s for denying it cert because Alan Gura basically had them over a barrel in terms of legitimacy of the case itself, it was flawless.
I think there's this institutional sloth where SCOTUS wants to say to gun owners "we gave you your one nugget in this century, now go away." Even though they won't come out and say it, you know they're thinking it.

The MSM is now reporting that SCOTUS has essentially told states they can ban semi-autos. I assume the best plan is to still try to get one of these cases in front of SCOTUS. Isn't worst case that SCOTUS continues to deny cert or upholds the state's right to ban, in which case we're no worse off than where we are now?
How long until Mass tries and passes a bill completely making possession ILLEGAL with no grandfather clause? I bet that turd Linsky is thinking about it
It's still not that easy. It adds to the governmental debt - which adds to the weakness of the government.
A government by the way - that is already on extremely shaky ground finance wise.
