It was held up 8-0 post Scalia in Caetano v Massachusetts. No new justice will change that.

I'm not a lawyer (and never wanted to be one). But maybe a constitutional scholar can chime in.

I though the Caetano decision dealt solely with stun guns.



I thought the Heller decision (which came on a 5-4 vote) upheld the right of private citizens to own firearms for traditionally lawful purposes, unconnected with service in a militia (such as self-defense in one's home).

I fail to see how the Heller decision won't change as soon as Hillary gets to appoint a SCOTUS justice.
