From The Los Angeles Times:

Supreme Court takes gun case that will test reach of 2nd Amendment

The justices' ruling on whether state and local laws are subject to the 2nd Amendment could open the door to legal challenges nationwide. The ruling on a Chicago handgun ban is expected by summer.

The case is Otis McDonald, et al., Petitioners v. City of Chicago, Illinois.

Here are some resources that will point you to additional information:

They'll be plenty of time for speculation and commentary. What's first and foremost on my mind is what to expect from Sonia Sotomayor.
