In a way I'm glad to see this, since a favorable ruling would be an enormous victory over the gun grabbers. However, part of me is very suspicious. Why now, after all these years of not hearing 2A cases? The timing, coming during Biden's anti-gun agenda, strikes me as curious, to say the least. Is it just going to be a rubber stamp for the poserdent? I wish we could have more confidence in SCOTUS to rule constitutionally, but recent history doesn't bear that out.

Supreme Court just ruled on another gun law which will make ownership in many major cities more accessible.
Look at that the Supreme court upholds the 2nd amendment while Congress is trying to take away rights !

The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down a restrictive New York gun law in a major ruling for gun rights.
The justices’ 6-3 decision is expected to ultimately allow more people to legally carry guns on the streets of the nation’s largest cities — including New York, Los Angeles and Boston — and elsewhere. About a quarter of the U.S. population lives in states expected to be affected by the ruling, the high court’s first major gun decision in more than a decade.The ruling comes as Congress is actively working on gun legislation following recent mass shootings in Texas,New York and California.In their decision, the justices struck down a New York law requiring people to demonstrate a particular need for carrying a gun in order to get a license to carry one in public. The justices said the requirement violates the Second Amendment right to “keep and bear arms.”California, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Rhode Island all have similar laws likely to be challenged as a result of the ruling.
The Biden administration had urged the justices to uphold New York’s law - I thought that was illegal to try to sway the justices outside of court.
