Thank you all very much for your answers. I've reviewed the oral arguments and read a few of the briefs. Not having any legal training, other than a single aviation law course, it's quite confusing to try and figure out exactly what is being decided and how a ruling will affect the Feds, the States, and of course all of us.
You are welcome. I am also quite anxious to read the decision when it is handed down, as is many right to bear arms citizens across the country. Too bad Charlton Heston could not be around to read it, as he was a major proponent of the 2nd for the NRA. He passed here just within several months of a ruling, a shame!!

It's really quite sad that a guy who went to some pretty respected schools doesn't have enough education to understand this very important process. Hey, at least I care enough to try and figure it out which is a heck of a lot more than most folks ever bother to do!
Don't feel uneducated because of it, the law, even for those prolific in it, is not always crystal clear.

I studied criminal law in College and since then have attempted to keep up with general principles of it, so it comes somewhat easy for me. I even chose the username BOR, Bill of Rights.

When it comes to other areas such as Math and science/electronics etc., I am befuddled for the most part.

The original BOR, as submitted to the states, had 12 Amendments or Articles, only 10 were ratified.

If you live in the DC area or can tour one time, visit it and all the magnificent sites, including the National Archives. In the Rotunda of the charters of freedom are the Declaration of Independence (badly faded), the Original 7 Articles and the Bill of Rights.

I had the awesome pleasure of sitting in on an oral argument many many years ago when Warren Burger was Chief Justice.

I saw some greats from history, Thurgood Marshall, William O. Douglas, Willam Rhenquist, Byron White, Lewis Powell.

Good luck with your further readings and as you, I will await the decision.
