@TheCobbler,
The author of this article is being misleading.
The Supreme Court specifically limited this case to
non-Second Amendment issues when they agreed to hear the case.
And as far as I know the NRA didn't have any presence on this case. They might have had a token presence that I am not aware of, but this wasn't any sort of major case for them.
What was significant about the case is, despite it having been limited to non-Second Amendment issues, during oral arguments Justice Thomas asked a bunch of Second Amendment questions anyway, and it was uncomfortably clear that no one had any good answers to his questions.
(It was a pretty noteworthy oral arguments session because Justice Thomas often goes decades without asking a single question, and here he opened the floodgates.)
The court ultimately decided the case without addressing the Second Amendment at all, just as they initially said they would when they agreed to hear the case, but they took an unusually long time to make their decision, which suggests that some of them were struggling with something. And the only thing they really could have been struggling with were Justice Thomas' questions.
So that's a strong sign that maybe in the future this law will be struck down for violating the Second Amendment.
However at the moment the Supreme Court has decided to wait a few years before they make any more Second Amendment rulings.
