Supreme Court just opened the door for the government to grab guns: legal expert

Reacting to the Supreme Court's stunning birthright citizenship ruling that now opens the door to an avalanche of lawsuits because the conservative court failed to rule on the reach of the 14th Amendment, one MSNBC legal analyst said the court may have opened a can of worms.

Speaking with host Ana Cabrera, Danny Cevallos explained that a non-Donald Trump administration could apply Friday's ruling to test the limits of the 2nd Amendment.

Cevallos noted a dissent from Justice Sonia Sotomayor made a solid point about the majority's ruling written by Justice Amy Coney Barrett.

"Sotomayor makes a compelling point that it should factor in," he told the host. "This is a great example of something that the government is so likely to lose on. And one of the other things I thought she raised that I thought was important was think about this going the other way?"

"What if the next president, a Democrat president, for example, says, 'I hereby issue an executive order: we're collecting all the guns. We're collecting them all tomorrow, we're going house to house, and we interpret the Constitution. The Second Amendment is saying, well, we're only talking about militia. And that's, oh, I don't know, the National Guard. Therefore, your AR-15 is now going to be collected by our authorities.'"

"Imagine the same thing," he suggested. "Someone would immediately go to a district court to challenge that as unconstitutional and so now what does this mean that we now need to wait for as the attorney general or Solicitor General John Sauer said, for these cases to percolate up through the system?"
