U.S. Supreme Court "Requests" Response

Another interesting turn of events has occurred in the Silveira v. Lockyer Second Amendment lawsuit. Our legal experts advise that this new development suggests that the Supreme Court will probably be granting certiorari in this case -- that they will most likely be hearing the case for which KeepAndBearArms.com is the fundraiser.

On September 22, the Court issued a "Request for Response" to the Petition for a Supreme Court hearing of this true Second Amendment case -- a "request" that was sent to California attorney general Bill Lockyer and copied to lead Silveira attorney Gary Gorski. (See U.S. Supreme Court docket for Silveira v. Lockyer.) Why is this intriguing? Why does it suggest that the Justices are seriously considering hearing this case?

I agree with the Keep and Bear Arms folks on this. If you do too, you might consider donating to the Silveira v Lockyer fund. If the Supreme Court takes this case -- and their actions here are suggestive that they are at least considering it -- then we need to be able to present a powerful individual-rights argument.
