Gura rides again, 'SAF Files Amicus Brief in Nordyke Case, Argues for Strict Scrutiny

PRNews said:

This case was a catalyst for the U.S. Supreme Court to hear SAF's case challenging the handgun ban in Chicago, because in an earlier Nordyke ruling – subsequently set aside in favor of a full en banc hearing by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals – created a conflict in the circuits over Second Amendment incorporation.

SAF's brief was written by attorney Alan Gura, who argued the landmark 2008 Heller case and represented SAF and its co-plaintiffs in the recent McDonald case, and is currently working with the foundation on other cases in Maryland, Illinois, New York and North Carolina.

You can say it shouldn't be underestimated or understated.

Or you can say it cannot be overestimated or overstated.

But saying it cannot be underestimated or understated....means it's insignificant.

But precedent is
sometimes taken as a kind of Rorschach test, with parties and courts
finding patterns and signals not predicted, much less intended, by the
authors. Courts are thus understandably careful to occasionally
disclaim any unintentional guidance. See, e.g., McDonald, 177 L. Ed.2d
at 926 (providing “assurances” that “incorporation does not imperil
every law regulating firearms”).
