The Supreme Court will consider whether to hear two cases on the scope of individuals' Second Amendment right to have guns at its first Conference for the new Term, on Sept. 29, according to the Court's electronic docket. Both petitions challenge a Seventh Circuit Court ruling that the Amendment does not restrict gun control laws adopted by state, county or city government, but applies only to federal laws. The cases are National Rifle Association v. Chicago (08 1497) and McDonald v. Chicago (08 1521).
