Any gun supporter who wants a case to go to the Supremes is a moron.

Right now Americans can own guns.

There are two possibilities from a Supreme Court ruling on whetther
the Second Amendment permits individuals, as opposed to militias, to
have guns 

1. Americans can own guns

2. Americans, if states so rule, can not own guns.

There is nothing to gain from a Supreme Court ruling, and a lot to
lose.

Are gun nuts - nuts?
