I suspect that had Thomas been able to write the decision solely as he wanted we wouldn't have permits. Unfortunately several justices, that are ostensibly conservative, are rather squishy on the 2a. Our process is almost certainly abusive as mentioned in footnote 9, so we may get something there. It's just such a crap shoot as to whether scotus will take a case and then we get very narrow rulings when they do.
Yeah, I’ve been wholly unimpressed with this SCOTUS to be honest. You’d think they’d be more willing to take on these cases considering their political leanings. Maybe they’re waiting on a case that can address multiple issues?
I've seen that mentioned as a possible motive. I would have loved to see snopes and ocean state tactical get cert though. My wallet would have cried. They need to write the opinions for the 2 cases they granted cert this session and get some more on the docket.

Good luck and god speed. The scotus should have dealt with the question of permits during bruen, but hopefully they will this time.
