Hurry Up and Wait

Gun rights and gun control advocates alike will have to wait a little longer to find out if the U.S. Supreme Court will hear a challenge to a Highland Park firearms ban. The high court is now expected to decide at the earliest on Monday if it will take the case, which involves a gun owner who sued the North Shore community over its ban on semi-automatic "assault weapons" that carry more than 10 rounds.

My prediction from a couple days ago in response to being asked:
[M]y *opinion* is they will not hear it and will not say why ... If they do hear it, I don't see how an honest reading of 2A and subsequent decisions could rule against the right to own them, meaning if they go the other way, it's game on against those of us who will not comply.
I'll have more to say after the decision -- or lack thereof  -- but nothing I haven't been saying for years.
