Thomas, conservatives impatient at Supreme Court's inaction on 2nd Amendment

What's the Supreme Court done about the 2nd Amendment lately? Not much, to the deep frustration of Justice Clarence Thomas...

Thomas, in an opinion released on Tuesday, criticized the courts for a "general failure to afford the 2nd Amendment the respect due an enumerated constitutional right." He was writing a dissent after his colleagues declined to take up a challenge to California's 10-day waiting period as it applies to individuals who already own guns. 

It's likely that any action at SCOTUS will involve interstate reciprocity for state-licensed carrying of personal firearms. It's obvious that the legislative branch doesn't want to solve the existing problem.
