Should the US Supreme Court ban guns?
Absolutely not! For one, bad guys do not follow the law, and will smuggle in guns. When they do that, the law-abiding citizens will have nothing to defend themselves with. Also, the job of the supreme court is to interpret the constitution. The 2nd amendment says, "A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." If the supreme court banned guns, that would be doing the thing it is not supposed to be doing.More information:The US Supreme Court upheld the Second Amendment right to bear arms in District of Columbia v. Heller, (2008) and McDonald v. Chicago, (2010). The McDonald ruling incorporated the Second Amendment to the states, ensuring states cannot pass overly restrictive laws regarding gun ownership. Banning guns altogether would be unconstitutional.

Which courts does the obiter dictum of a US Supreme Court decision bind?
None. Ratio decidendi sets forth the legal reasoning for the decision in a case. Obiter dictumis judicial opinion or incidental comments that are relevant, but not legally binding, because they're not part of the decision.The ratio decidendi creates binding precedent on all federal courts and on state courts of general jurisdiction, provided the decision involves a constitutional issue that is incorporated to the states, or becomes incorporated to the states as a result of that decision.For example, the US Supreme Court's decision in McDonald v. City of Chicago, 561 U.S. ___ (2010) applied the Second Amendment to the States via the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process Clause.
