Tom Goldstein - The only opinion remaining from the March sitting is Heller. The only Justice without a majority opinion from that sitting is Justice Scalia.

Maybe, there are some that think a decision might impact the race in a way they don't like?
That means almost certainly it will be an "Individual Right." The point to be concerned about are the "regulations" which will be considered "reasonable." Scalia can be just as much a "Statist" as a "Constructionist." For that reason I do not see him too likely to chop the head of the legislative python strangling our 2A rights... Hold on to your hats.
The judges for delaying this and making it anything more complicated than immediate and clear cut, for not being just straightforward and to the point about it.

There is only one decision day next week on the Court’s official calendar: Monday, June 23, when the Court’s public session will begin at 10 am eastern. However, as the Court has done for the past two weeks, it’s certain that the Court will sit on one or more additional days later in the week. Based on past practice, if the Court holds one additional opinion day, it will likely be the Thursday (June 26) as it did last Term. If it holds two additional opinion days (which is more likely, given that ten [now seven] opinions remain), the added days will likely be Wednesday (June 25) and Thursday (as it did in the 2005 Term).
(Of course, the Court isn’t required to finish by June 26, but it has concluded the Term before July every year for the last decade. Monday June 30 is also a possible last day, but is unlikely because the Court internally plans on finishing each Term during the fourth week of June.)
