Exactly. If for no other reason than even if a majority knows granting cert is the right thing to do, they are terrified that a ruling favorable to 2A rights would result in the dems packing their precious institution (a reasonable fear in the current political environment).

Maybe a strongly worded per curiam, but that would just barely move the needle.
