Repost: This is why the past election was so important. Justice Alito sees the "loopholes" in Heller and appears to want to correct them with a conservative SCOTUS.
Justice Samuel Alito outlined the possible agenda for a conservative SCOTUS that includes gun rights and freedom of speech, so maybe something will happen sooner than later.
In reference to gun rights, Alito mentioned Justice Stephen Breyer's dissent in the 2008 case District of Columbia v. Heller, in which the court found an individual right to bear arms for self defense. Breyer's dissent, in which he argued that the Constitution's Second Amendment protects militia-related and not self-defense-related gun rights and it does not absolutely bar government action on guns, gave a "roadmap" to those who would seek to undermine the ruling, Alito said.
