We are going around in circles here. How courts work have nothing to do with what they pick and choose to look at.
But it does! It takes four Justices to grant Certiorari to review a lower Court case. Now this little tid-bit usually shuts the discussion down as those bitching don't want to hear the truth!
Since the Heller and McDonald cases there are four Liberal justices that are just about guaranteed to rule against anything 2A and five that are supposed to be Conservative and 2A friendly. But Kennedy has been a swing vote! Maybe it was Roberts they were unsure of! If the Liberals thought they could pull one of the five to their side, Why would they not grant Cert. The Conservatives were unsure they had the votes to protect the 2A in each a everyone of the most recent 2A cases! But some here want to gamble away their 2A rights on those odds!! Is that right @Willjr75 ?
