My prediction: 7-2 in favor of an individual right, with NO MAJORITY OPINION but two or three concurring opinions from groups of justices varying in whether or not they prefer a lenient “rational-basis” standard of review (Stevens, Souter), a “strict-scrutiny” standard (Thomas), or prefer not to address the standard question at all (Roberts).
Regardless of the ruling, this is the first in a series of cases chipping away at the various State and Federal laws infringing on our Second Amendment rights. The next several years will be interesting.
