SCOTUS has just released a unanimous decision in a case Caetano v. Massachusetts ruling that the state's ban on stun guns is unconstitutional. It is a rather harsh (in relative terms of legalese) smack down of the state's Supreme Judicial Court. This short brief is really worth a read, and may have implications in many upcoming 2A cases as it gives clarity to how the court wants to have its precedent viewed.
Also, closer to home, it would likely be a key instrument in overturning New Castle County's stun gun ban. I intend to review the decision more closely and believe I may attend the County Council's meeting tomorrow evening (3/22 @ 6:30 - same time as monthly DELOC meeting) to urge them to repeal their ban before the county's residents are subjected to costly and pointless litigation.
Here is the per curiam decision and concurring opinion of Justice Alito:
