Guttersnipe  says that whenever I cast an instant or sorcery spell, it deals 2 damage to each opponent. If I cast a spell with Storm -- like Grapeshot  for example -- would the copies of the spell also trigger? So if I cast one spell and then Grapeshot, would my Guttersnipe go off twice from the Grapeshot and its copy? Thanks!

No. Snipe triggers on casting.706.10. To copy a spell or activated ability means to put a copy of it onto the stack; a copy of a spell isn’t cast and a copy of an activated ability isn’t activated...

Sounds familiar?

No. Copy of spell(s) are never cast, thus it wouldn't trigger Guttersnipe

The reminder text of Storm plus a few minutes of pondering would have given you the answer, followed by laughter.

You don't cast a copy of a spell unless it says cast on the effect that copies it: isochron scepter

Isochron Scepter copies exiled cards, not spells. Then the copy is cast and becomes a spell. Anything that actually copies spells (things already on the stack) never casts them.

The answer that a copy wouldn't trigger the Guttersnipe is the answer I thoroughly expected. The details about things like the Isochron Scepter  though, I did not know. Thoroughly glad I asked and thank you all for the information!

In short, Guttersnipe triggers when: * You acctually casts an Instant or Sorcery card from your hand, the normal way. * Some effect allows you to "play" or "cast" something (and it must say 'play' or 'cast'), and the thing you're playing/casting is an Instant or Sorcery. For keywords, check the reminder text.
Examples: Isochron Scepter, the Suspend  keyword (when the last counter is removed, not when you exile it from hand), the Flashback  cost, Mindclaw Shaman  , Djinn of Wishes  , Future Sight  all count.
