After nearly a decade of silence, the Supreme Court is poised Monday to consider a case concerning the scope of an individual's right to keep and bear arms in a dispute concerning a New York City gun regulation.
Gun rights advocates and the Trump administration want the newly solidified conservative majority to take the opportunity to broaden gun rights. The controversy also comes as the country is still reeling from mass shootings over the summer and the political branches are bickering over proposed fixes.Although the case marks the first time since 2010 that the court has heard a major Second Amendment case, it's unclear whether the justices will ultimately issue an opinion.
In a 2018 dissent joined by Justice Neil Gorsuch, Thomas said lower courts were treating the Second Amendment as a"disfavored right."Some court watchers believe that the court stayed away from the issue because Justice Anthony Kennedy was not eager to take up a new case, instead preferring to let the issue percolate in the lower courts. They believe that his replacement, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, may be further to the right on the issue.
