True. But if I understand things correctly Alito's opininion was a seperate concuring opinion, supported by himself alone, which carriers very little (if any) weight.

I have yet to read the opinion, but based on what I am hearing I want to expand on my layman's understanding of this ruling. Essentially the court ruled on it as a fourth amendment case, but because the Biden Administration pushed for a "Second Amendment Exception" to the Fourth Amendment the case does affirm that there is no such exception. With that in mind I understand that Red Flag laws are in jeopardy as they depend on the "Community Caretaking" concept that the USSCA never ruled on one way or the other until now. This is a good win for gun owners but it is not a second amendment case even though as I understand it is the next best thing.

While this case revolved around the seizure of firearms, it is NOT a gun case no matter how much people want it to be. The good news is that while it isn't a second amendment case it is a good verdict on the 4th amendment.
