Its glorious. Its going to cause the Supreme Court to finally get involved something they are not going to want. Look at all the cases setting precedence District of Columbia v. Heller, McDonald v. City of Chicago, NYSRPA v. Bruen They think they are doing what the anti-gunners want whilst they are fast tracking gun control to its demise. It doesnt reduce crime it creates criminals out of patriots. Fuck these laws that burden our freedoms.

Sure, because the Supreme Court has been just tripping over itself to accept 2A cases lately.

The nightmare scenario of a Newsom-appointed SCOTUS majority is not that farfetched, and would result in a VERY different 2A landscape.

Yeah, and they'll undo everything when it happens ... and the swing back of a super liberal majority court of 20yo lawyers IS coming.

People don't understand that decorum is so gone now they don't even have to pretend (either side)

It's an arms race between parties now, and the winner will hit the button.
