With Justice Kavanaugh now on the bench, the Supreme Court took its first Second Amendment case in eight years. What this signals is quite clear — that the Court is poised to strike down New York City’s law and allow gun owners to transport their weapons freely. As always, there’s no guarantee, and one of the conservative Justices could surprise us. But that seems unlikely.

What seems more likely is that, while he was on the Court, Justice Kennedy supported the basic right to own a handgun for self-defense, but he was unwilling to go much further to expand gun rights. Thus, the Court never had enough votes to strike down the various laws that came to it in the past decade and instead ignored those cases. But now, with Justice Kavanaugh, the Court’s conservatives think they have the fifth vote to expand the Second Amendment, so they took this new case.

I fixed it for you.

Why would "fix" an article rather than comment on it?
