The Supreme Court unwisely declined to review Drake v. Jerejian, last week, a case that challenged New Jerseys discretionary system of concealed-carry permitting.

By denying review, the Court failed to resolve a nationwide split about the meaning of the Second Amendment.

Eventually, the Court will have to face the issue and decide if it was serious when it held that the Second Amendment protects an individuals right to keep and bear arms.

Both Heller and McDonald made it clear that the government cannot ban or effectively ban guns, but lower courts are still struggling to define what restrictions are allowed under those rulings.

In 2008, in the landmark case of D.C. v. Heller, the Supreme Court held that the Second Amendment protects the individual right to keep and bear arms.

Eventually, the Court will have decide if it was serious when it held that the Second Amendment protects an individuals right to keep and bear arms.

Later, in 2010s McDonald v. Chicago, the Court held that the Second Amendment protects citizens from not just federal prohibitions, as Heller said, but also from state and municipal prohibitions.

Since that time, the Court has not heard another Second Amendment case. Both Hellerand McDonald made it clear that the government cannot ban or effectively ban guns, but lower courts are still struggling to define what restrictions are allowed under those rulings. The Supreme Court needs to clear up the uncertainty.

Gun controllers in cities and states across the country are taking advantage of that uncertainty to test the limits of gun control. After McDonald struck down Chicagos de factogun ban, the city created a restrictive permit system requiring one hour of range training. But the city also banned gun ranges. The Seventh Circuit struck down the ban on ranges.

More recently, a judge struck down Chicagos ban on virtually all sales and transfers within the city because the Second Amendment right must also include the right toacquirea firearm.

Guns and Supreme Court: Is Second Amendment a Privilege, Not a Right?

N.J. Gov. Chris Christie will face a difficult decision in the coming days over an ammunition restriction bill thats nearly found its way to his desk and the pressure from the Second Amendment activists and the gun-control crackdown crowd could very well hang the fate of his White House aspirations.

The legislation seeks to reduce the allowable capacity for ammunition magazines to 10 rounds, down from 15. Its passed through the Senate and heads to the lower house for a second vote, where support is strong. Mr. Christie could see it within days, NJ.com reported. And pressure is mounting for him to take a side.

SPECIAL COVERAGE: Second Amendment and Gun Control

Christie will either veto the magazine restriction bill, or kiss his presidential aspirations goodbye, a headline of the gun rights website Bearingarms.com read.

But from the other side is pressure from parents of Sandy Hook Elementary School victims. Twice, this groups taken their lobby mantra for more gun control and for passage of the ammo limits directly to the steps of the state Capitol.

Theyre likely to make a public appearance during the final Assembly vote, due within days, said Bryan Miller, the executive director of the group, Heeding Gods Call, in NJ.com.

So far, Mr. Christies office has refused to take a stand.

If and when a final version of legislation reaches his desk, it will be carefully reviewed in the 45-day period he has prior to taking any action, one spokesman for Mr. Christie said, in NJ.com.

But any dream he might have for the White House or any GOP-fueled hope that hes the partys 2016 candidate may hinge on which way he goes on the bill.

Any candidate that doesnt do well in these early primaries can kiss their presidential aspirations goodbye and one of the fastest ways to sink a Republican nomination in the current political environment is to be seen as a champion of gun control, said Bob Owens, the author of the Bearingarms.com piece.

Ann Coulter's bullshit conservative troll game is slipping. In her zeal to land a jab against... Twitter? Michelle Obama? Nigerian schoolgirls?... she opened a door for her detractors, and they jumped through it with a two-leg flying kick of Photoshop fury.

The way Coulter's game is supposed to work is 1) she says something bigoted or just plain dumb and trollish, 2) outraged critics say something she can twist as sexist, 3) she positions herself as the victim, 4) she wins. But if she looks like a fucking tone-deaf joke of a demagogue instead of a victim, it doesn't really work.

That's where Twitter comes in. Here's the backstory: Michelle Obama, among others, made the hashtag #bringbackourgirls trend, a viral if superficial way to draw mainstream attention to the plight of the 234 Nigerian teen girls kidnapped by an Islamist militant group called Boko Haram. Never mind that anti-Islam conservatives were the first folks to scream for media attention to this story; the nascent right-wing meme is now that Michelle Obama trivialized the story by hashtagging it. So Ann Coulter responded thusly on Twitter yesterday:

One could read a bunch of racial shit into a tweet like that, but why bother? It's just stupid "Oh my team isn't winning so fuck this fake version of America" sunshine patriotism. It's poor form and poor discourse.

More to the point, it's indicative of how a conservative doesn't get social media. Here is how social media responds.

Uh oh.
