Story here. As always, we have no way to know why.

Typical. The SC screwed up everything with Barron in 1833. All the Bill of Rights except the First bind the States, as Rawle remarked in his texts, under the supremacy clause. Hamilton in the Federalist 84 pointed out that the feds have absolutely NO authority to legislate in any of the areas covered by a Bill of Rights providing solid evidence that ALL federal gun laws are unconstitutional. The feds punish for firearms violations without authority. Specific police powers are granted in Article I Section 8. The inclusion of those explicit grants provided unassailable evidence that ungranted police powers are not within the purview of the federal government. Thus all punishments for firearms laws (unconstitutional to begin with) are also unconstitutional since no grant to punish anything except counterfeiting, treason, felonies on the high seas, piracies on the high seas, offenses against the law of nations, violations of the 13th, and copyright/patent security was ever granted.

If Congress obeyed the Constitution, then all of us as members of the militias would be provided with military weapons as is done in Switzerland and Norway.

Why exactly is the Supreme Court allowed to keep cert votes secret?
