Richard WolfWASHINGTON – Gun rights will be in the Supreme Court's sights this term after all.
Since establishing a national right to possess guns at home for self-defense in 2008 and extending that ruling to the states in 2010, the court has refused to re-enter the gun debate.

Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., filed a brief urging the court to dismiss the case, or voters might demand that it be"restructured." That was interpreted by many as a threat to pack the court with additional justices if Democrats win the White House and Senate.
