It appears that all the amicus briefs are in for McDonald. I could be wrong, but it appears that none are arguing against incorporation. Even Handgun Control seems to be conceding incorporation and arguing only for a wimpy standard of review. If the above is correct, does this suggest that the usual movers and shakers against an individual Second Amendment right have basically given up? I can't recall a recent case this big in the civil liberties area that had no amicus briefs on one side on the central cert. issues. Chicago's and Oak Park's briefs are not in yet, but their request for an extension suggests a certain amount of desperation. I'd appreciate some input on these observations.
