Meh, it was a comment at a luncheon. I’d not take too much stock in it. She did dissent, as it were, and naturally assumes she’s in the right and that eventually the court will agree.

No, she’s right. Even though the SCOTUS is loathe to overturn its own rulings, once the court is properly packed – er – configured – to represent the uber-left, they will happily overlook centuries of precedent and overturn Heller. Our enemies are nothing if not patient.

Every Supreme Court justice who has ever written a dissent did so because they believed the majority made a mistake and hoped their dissent will eventually become the basis for overruling the majority opinion.
I don’t know why people are so shocked that Justice Ginsburg is stating the obvious.

I don’t see anyone here acting particularly shocked.

What would one have to do to gain “standing” in order to get this before the SCOTUS again?
Argue that they don’t want 2A Rights?
Where are the damages?

Mmh, in a different time, I cant help but feel that if the supreme court overturned heller, the people would overturn the supreme court.

Not to worry.
I am pretty sure our wise latina rookie supreme court justice will protect our 2nd amendment.

Kaveman, it’d just require some idiots in the DC or federal government to pass a law that would be self-evidently unconstitutional under Heller, someone to try and challenge the law in court, and for the courts to disagree. Things like this have happened before.
Stormy Dragon, it’s no surprise, but it doesn’t speak well for a person that’d bring up Heller as the test case.

But Heller provides for regulations and laws that infringe the right,and they did so while leaving the issue broadly open.

It doesn’t matter. The COTUS has become irrelevant. Find the section of COTUS that grants Congress the power to do 1/10th of what it does. Healthcare, gun laws, OSHA, the EPA, etc.
