The Supreme Court is returning to a new term to take up some familiar topics — guns and abortion — and concerns about ethics swirling around the justices.
The year also will have a heavy focus on social media and how free speech protections apply online. A big unknown is whether the court will be asked to weigh in on any aspect of the criminal cases against former President Donald Trump and others or efforts in some states to keep the Republican off the 2024 presidential ballot because of his role in trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election that he lost to Democrat Joe Biden.
Lower-profile but vitally important, several cases in the term that begins Monday ask the justices to constrict the power of regulatory agencies.
It's a tool millions use to put inexpensive, high-quality food on the table; a critical resource for many poor people. And, for those put in the unfortunate position to need it, it is a tool to save life.
You may not have high opinions, but many people rely on this tool on a regular basis.
I frequently go hunting with my Glock.

(Straightwall cartridge, .357 or larger; barrel longer than 5". The "long slide" Glocks in .40 S&W, 10mm, and .45ACP all meet this criteria.)
Gun regulation doesn't stop you having guns as tools. Educate yourself instead of spouting idiocy.
Gun control doesn't stop. The goal is always disarmament and people believing otherwise is why it gets to happen.
Sure, that's why it doesn't work that way anywhere there's gun control. Because Americans are special snowflakes.
Those other places also implemented things that actually reduce all violence like universal healthcare, workers rights, stronger welfare, maternity/paternity leave, mandatory vacation time, etc.
Places like the UK have lower rates of murder via martial attacks (punches, kicks, strangle, etc) yet I don't think they have gym control limiting how strong you can be.
Happy, healthy, financially safe people don't commit violence.
Yes, you should get those too, not ignore gun control.
Yes I agree with the first 5 words of your comment.
Unhealthy, people with no access to mental health services, or adequate education, shouldn't have access to guns even in a healthy society. If you had all those maybe you can be trusted with guns.
No interest in negotiating my constitutionally protected rights for the hope we finally get the social services and labor protections we deserve.
