A critical gun case was argued before the Supreme Court this week, one of the few in modern history.

But instead of opening further freedoms for gun owners, the court, with its conservative supermajority, seemed ready

So Adam, we've just had oral arguments in a very important gun case.

And you previewed it for us in October, and it was going to be one of those tests of just how far to the right this court was going to go.

So I've been watching your reporting, saw the case come up, and I wanted to give listeners a real sense of what the answer to that question might be.

So let's dig into it.

Remind us why this case is so important.

So this case is important on two levels.

First level, very important.

Second level, even more important.

The presence of firearms combined with domestic strife is a recipe for lethal violence.

So the answer to that question, very important.

Even more important, though, is the way the court is going to approach that question,

because not long ago in 2022 it announced a new Second Amendment standard by which to
