Even the Conservative Activist Supreme Court couldn't take NRA's Latest Challenge Seriously.

What, we can't walk around like militia soldiers around kids and in other public places? What do they think this is, a civilized country?

Gun nuts never cared much for common sense regulations, a point even Justice Scalia said was fair.
The United States Supreme Court has decided not to hear challenges to recent rulings that upheld firearms restrictions, dealing a blow to gun rights advocates hoping the justices would declare them unconstitutional.

Monday’s decision swept aside two challenges backed by the National Rifle Association, one of which argued against limiting gun sales to those under 21 years of age, while another attempted to secure the right to carry firearms in public.

Ever since the Supreme Court ruled in 2008 that the Constitution guaranteed an individual’s right to bear arms, gun rights advocates have challenged laws that limit that ability in public. The Supreme Court clarified that its original ruling applied to all states in 2010, but since then it has refused to wade into the battle regarding public spaces.
