"But the decision below did just that. Purporting to apply intermediate scrutiny, the Court of Appeals upheld California’s 10-day waiting period for firearms based solely on its own “common sense.” Silvester v. Harris, 843 F. 3d 816, 828 (CA9 2016). It did so without requiring California to submit relevant evidence, without addressing petitioners’ arguments to the contrary, and without ac- knowledging the District Court’s factual findings. This deferential analysis was indistinguishable from rational- basis review. And it is symptomatic of the lower courts’ general failure to afford the Second Amendment the re- spect due an enumerated constitutional right.
If a lower court treated another right so cavalierly, I have little doubt that this Court would intervene. But as evidenced by our continued inaction in this area, the Second Amendment is a disfavored right in this Court.
***
If this case involved one of the Court’s more favored rights, I sincerely doubt we would have denied certiorari. I suspect that four Members of this Court would vote to review a 10-day waiting period for abortions, notwith- standing a State’s purported interest in creating a “cooling off ” period. Cf. Akron Center for Reproductive Health, Inc. v. Akron, 651 F. 2d 1198, 1208 (CA6 1981) (invalidating a 24-hour waiting period for abortions that was meant to create a “‘cooling off period’”), aff’d in relevant part, 462 U. S. 416, 450 (1983); Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pa. v. Casey, 505 U. S. 833, 887 (1992) (joint opinion of O’Connor, KENNEDY, and Souter, JJ.) (disavowing Akron but upholding a 24-hour waiting period only “on the record before us, and in the context of this facial challenge”). I also suspect that four Members of this Court would vote to review a 10-day waiting period on the publication of racist speech, notwithstanding a State’s purported interest in giving the speaker time to calm down. Cf. Forsyth County v. Nationalist Movement, 505 U. S. 123 (1992) (holding that the First Amendment forbids a county from charging even a small permitting fee to offset the costs of providing security for a white-nationalist rally); Virginia v. Black, 538 U. S. 343 (2003) (holding that the First Amendment protects the burning of a 25-foot cross at a Ku Klux Klan rally); Brandenburg v. Ohio, 395 U. S. 444, 446, n. 1 (1969) (per curiam) (holding that the First Amendment protects a film featuring Klan members wielding firearms, burning a cross, and chanting “ ‘Bury the niggers’ ”). Similarly, four Members of this Court would vote to review even a 10- minute delay of a traffic stop. Cf. Rodriguez v. United States, 575 U. S. ___ (2015) (holding that the Fourth Amendment prohibits the police from delaying a traffic stop seven or eight minutes to conduct a dog sniff). The Court would take these cases because abortion, speech, and the Fourth Amendment are three of its favored rights. The right to keep and bear arms is apparently this Court’s constitutional orphan."

Our continued refusal to hear Second Amendment cases
only enables this kind of defiance. We have not heard
argument in a Second Amendment case for nearly eight
years. Peruta v. California, 582 U. S. ___, ___ (2017)
(THOMAS, J., dissenting from denial of certiorari) (slip op.,
at 7). And we have not clarified the standard for assessing
Second Amendment claims for almost 10. Meanwhile, in
this Term alone, we have granted review in at least five
cases involving the First Amendment and four cases involving
the Fourth Amendment—even though our

HOLY FUCK @ this
If this case involved one of the Court’s more favored
rights, I sincerely doubt we would have denied certiorari.
I suspect that four Members of this Court would vote to
review a 10-day waiting period for abortions, notwithstanding
a State’s purported interest in creating a “cooling
off ” period. Cf. Akron Center for Reproductive Health, Inc.
v. Akron, 651 F. 2d 1198, 1208 (CA6 1981) (invalidating a
24-hour waiting period for abortions that was meant to
create a “‘cooling off period’”), aff ’d in relevant part, 462
U. S. 416, 450 (1983); Planned Parenthood of Southeastern
Pa. v. Casey, 505 U. S. 833, 887 (1992) (joint opinion of
O’Connor, KENNEDY, and Souter, JJ.) (disavowing Akron
but upholding a 24-hour waiting period only “on the record
before us, and in the context of this facial challenge”). I
also suspect that four Members of this Court would vote to

(per curiam) (holding that the First Amendment protects a

Members of this Court would vote to review even a 10-
minute delay of a traffic stop. Cf. Rodriguez v. United
States, 575 U. S. ___ (2015) (holding that the Fourth
Amendment prohibits the police from delaying a traffic
stop seven or eight minutes to conduct a dog sniff). The
Court would take these cases because abortion, speech,
and the Fourth Amendment are three of its favored rights.
The right to keep and bear arms is apparently this Court’s
constitutional orphan. And the lower courts seem to have
gotten the message.

He's right.

thomas is always right.
odds that some california mom tries to get a gun to protect herself against some crazy ex, but is prevented from doing so because of the waiting period. very high. i hope it occurs very soon, too
i assume the waiting period doesn't have exceptions, right?
