Potential Second Amendment Cases for Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court needs to clarify a number of  crucial issues left remaining after its civil rights landmark decisions in Heller and McDonald.  Among these are:
1.  What is the standard of review? ( Strict scrutiny, intermediate scrutiny, rational basis?)
2.  What does "bear arms" mean in the Second Amendment?  To  what extent does the right apply outside the home?
3.  What types of weapons are protected?  What does "arms" mean in the Second Amendmet?

Hopefully, the Court will decide one or more of these cases that have been appealed to it.
