Hello!
I'm not sure that anyone here cares, but tomorrow the Supreme Court will hear McDonald v. Chicago. The question they will be answering is:
Whether the Second Amendment is incorporated into the Due Process Clause or the Privileges or Immunities Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment so as to be applicable to the States, thereby invalidating ordinances prohibiting possession of handguns in the home.
Now even if you aren't a fan of firearms, this may still be of interest to you. The 14th amendment was 'gutted' by the Slaughterhouse cases. This amendment basically stated that citizens were born with certain privileges or immunities and the gov't can't take those away.
This means that depending on the ruling, you may see a few new rights returned to you that you previously did not have (even outside of gun ownership).
