The 1st Monday in October marks the beginning of a new term for the Supreme Court of the United States, commonly called SCOTUS. The October 2009 term includes at least one lawsuit regarding the 2nd Amendment with a second one, brought by the NRA, waiting to be granted a writ of certiorari. Both cases deal with the same issue, but each uses different reasoning. The one that has already been granted certiorari was filed by Alan Gura, who successfully argued Heller v.
