As the end of the term approaches the deluge of major cases has begun. Two big cases - the eagerly awaited sequel to the Bruen case - Rahimi - features an orgy of originalist theorizing and opining.

We take a look at the opinions and give our own take on these impactful cases, even as we brace ourselves for many more in the week or so to come.
