Tomorrow is a huge day for Second Amendment gun rights loving Americans. After releasing four opinions this morning the Supreme Court announced they would deliver the rest of the decisions for the term tomorrow (Thursday) morning at 10am Eastern. This includes the “DC vs. Heller” Second Amendment case. If you haven’t heard of the Heller case then read all about it here.

At the close of Wednesday’s public session, Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., announced that the Court will issue all remaining decisions for the Term at 10 a.m. Thursday. The test case on whether the Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a gun is among those remaining (District of Columbia v. Heller, 07-290). (Source: SCOTUSblog)

This is likely to be a great win for gun rights activists and a sour day for gun control nuts. Yes, I switched around the usual rhetoric you read which is: “gun control activists” and “gun rights nuts”. Maybe after the decision tomorrow my first description will become the norm?

Gee, I sure hope the Supreme Court doesn’t make a mistake and strike down the DC Gun Ban. Look how much crime has gone down since it was put into place! Heck, I only get mugged every once in a blue moon these days!

I have a sinking feeling that we’re going to get one of those ambiguous mixed rulings that doesn’t settle anything and leaves everyone unhappy.

I’ll be praying for Charlton Heston’s intercession in proving me wrong.
