Man, I hope so. This could be another landmark case, I think.

"But University of California at Los Angeles law professor Adam Winkler, an expert on the legal dispute over guns, said the time may not be right for the high court's review. "The justices have to be cognizant of the politics of guns at this moment in time. Newtown makes it less likely the justices will want to wade into the gun issue," he said."

Is the court that easily swayed? I would hope not, but then 0bamacare comes to mind.

To the extent that politics matters, what matters is not when it's granted cert, but when a decision is released. We're lucky that the 7th Circuit released their decision in Moore right before Newtown.

There's a pretty lengthy thread about this:

and four months after a gunman killed 20 children and six adults in Newtown, Conn.

Why the hell is that in there and what does it have to do with the law or constitution at all.
