How Scalia Death Could Shape Gun Rights Policy
The piece argues over the potential impact of Justice Scalia’s death on Second Amendment rulings. It notes Scalia’s Heller majority support for many gun controls while preserving core rights, and predicts that future Democratic nominees might narrow the right or uphold existing laws. It cautions that long term changes depend on how a new majority interprets the amendment.
