I might sound like a single-issue voter, but I’m really not. Allow me to explain. I’ll almost always support the candidate with a bold and unapologetic history of protecting individual gun rights. You’ll notice I said “protecting.” That’s a critical distinction. No government grants or gives rights. Rights are something we all already own. Period, paragraph, and end of story. So the concept of protecting gun rights is a big deal. The government’s job is to preserve the rights, any type of rights, that we already have. |

I don't see how the Tyler case can cost us anything we already have. Either he loses, and the 'adjudicated mentally ill' remain prohibited persons for life, or he wins, and 2A rights are expanded from their current level of recognition.
That said, Breyer has said that there is no individual right and he wants to overturn Heller. (and after he was part of the unanimous vote for the individual right in Heller, he was just in the minority who claimed a total ban on handguns didn't violate that right)
And Hillary has vowed to give us more justices who agree with Breyer.

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
