Sadly when it comes to court cases, the gun grabbers might not win, but they NEVER lose. The court appeals process is long and expensive, so they drain pro gun groups of money, while the taxpayers are on the hook for the anti gun sides legal bills. The anti constitutional law remains in place the whole time, so at the very LEAST gun owners get screwed out of their rights for YEARS. Then IF(and it's a big if) SCOTUS even looks at the case it usually GVR's it back to the original, anti gun court for "reconsideration".
Thus begins the 2a circle jerk where the case has to go back through the entire appeals process to get back to SCOTUS. More time the anti constitutional law remains in place, more money drained out of pro gun groups. FINALLY SCOTUS rules said law unconstitutional, YAY, victory, right? Not so fast. The democrats who passed the unconstitutional law in the first place will just weasel word it and pass it AGAIN. An example of that is from Massachusetts. They simply replaced "may issue"(declared unconstitutional) with "good character". What is "good character"? Anything the police chief tells you it is. Good character = may issue. So now it's round robin back through the court system AGAIN. I believe a few other states now have "good character" provisions on ccw applications, but have not heard that any challenges to that have reached SCOTUS for consideration.
So via weasel wording "may issue" into "good character", may issue is back on some states ccw license applications and will remain so for many years to come.
Sadly there is no electoral solution in rock solid blue states like Massachusetts, where the majority of people there HATE guns and even many of the gun owners are Fudds, but for people who live in purple and red states, NEVER VOTE DEMOCRAT, EVER. Primary out squishy anti gun republicans as well. With SCOTUS extremely reluctant to hear gun cases the courts are an expensive dice roll at best.
