Sam, eventually SCOTUS will hear a case on 2nd Amendment
INDIVIDUAL rights.    I fear there isn't a "right" case.

When that time comes I believe the left leaning court  (SCOTUS
in my opinion will over time continue it's march to the left)
will say once and for all the 2nd Amendment is NOT an
individual right.   This is a sickening thought and I hope and
pray I'm wrong.
