SCOTUS considers firearms possession by violent individuals. Astounding that they are even considering restoring the right of people who are mentally unstable to possess firearms.

Several conservative justices, during a lively if largely one-sided argument, seemed to be searching for a narrow rationale that would not require them to retreat substantially from a new Second Amendment test the court announced last year in vastly expanding people's right to arm themselves in public.

Chief Justice Roberts said there was little question that Mr. Rahimi, who has been accused of a string of shootings, posed a threat to public safety.

'You don't have any doubt that your client is a dangerous person, do you?' the chief justice asked Mr. Rahimi's lawyer, Mr. Wright.

Mr. Wright said he would 'want to know what 'dangerous person' means.'

Chief Justice Roberts supplied a definition. 'Someone who is shooting at people. That's a good start.'

'I'm so confused,'Justice Amy Coney Barrett said.

Poor Amy.

Perhaps she could call another Trump appointee, Judge Eileen Cannon for guidance.
