To be fair, lots of folks want to overturn SCOTUS precedent other than DC vs. Heller. Some of them even have pretty decent legal arguments. You're talking about a 5-4 case here.

That said, D.C. vs. Hellar does allow for the government to place reasonable limitations on firearms ownership, so there's that.

Maybe some gun reform makes sense, but I haven't seen a single proposal from this administration, including the mental health database, which would be anything but a bandaid on a bullet hole.
