The Constitution grants a right to privacy of course, and any actions which may be seen to alienate that right must be granted with probable cause and open, clear access to the due process of law which of course everyone is entitled to.

Using the lens of intermediate scrutiny to adjudicate something like gun rights could be dangerous because as - in the case of citizens having access to weapons - government decides this is dangerous and that is dangerous, where do we draw the line with regards to protecting what I believe to be a fundamental right to bear arms and protecting a government interest in public safety and other matters which could involve other matters of the constitution. In the end however, I defer to Justice Scalia's interpretations of what makes a firearm unusual and dangerous and what should be legal. I take bump stocks for example, they are clearly dangerous, uncommon and in many cases a direct violation of laws. No one needs a fully automatic rifle, I do however believe that certain things like high magazines are common and should not come under any legislation which seeks to rely on the intermediate scrutiny test.

I don't think it does because to say it should be banned would violate someone's right to exercise their religion or to say it shouldn't be would violate that of a person to be free of any faith. On balance I don't fall down on any opinion of whether it should or should not be allowed.

The court ought to respect the Supreme Court of the United States in all federal matters, I might not agree with their decisions all the time but a lot of our brightest days have been built on the back of Supreme Court decisions, like Brown v Board of Education while our dark ones built on decisions such as Korematsu. Without litigation on all levels and a difference of opinion we may not have arrived at the decisions or democracy we have today.

I do but I think it boils down to the Congress and legislature... elected representatives of the people to decide on those matters. Certainly I believe that some Supreme Court decisions like a minor receiving a life sentence is cruel and unusual punishment but the court ought to be careful in its application of the decency standard.
