And yet the Right will rage about "crime in the streets" and "getting shot" all the time....yet they think guns should be flowing free like water. It's maddening.
As you stated, the Supreme Court's 2nd Amendment decisions are horrid, especially the way they contort themselves so there are no limits on guns. I suspect they'll allow those who have committed domestic violence to own weapons because, even though women have no right over their own bodies, we have to allow men to have guns. I also agree with your statement about their refusal to rely on experts, a definite Republican position, when they disagree with the experts. As you also stated, "Congress can’t plan for every eventuality in passing a law, nor are members of Congress subject-matter experts on every possible topic." One must have humility to admit they aren't subject-matter experts and the conservative majority has no humility; humility is also tied to wisdom and this court is lacking in that area too.
Just wondering … listening to the violent/genocidal rhetoric of Bannon, MTG, Alex Jones etc. whom continue to peddle the aggrieved entitlement and fear mongering us vs them narratives based in Nazi dog whistle propaganda… If the idea is to revert to colonization type that led to the Trail of Tears and the slave trade, wouldn’t decisions like these align with their 1787 agenda in Project 2025?
The best word to describe this ruling written by Thomas IS smug. The fact that he transfers blame onto the ATF for this is amazing, “if the ATF had just left bump stock’s alone, things would be different” And then alito has the gall to essentially say “ go ahead, let congress pass laws restricting bump stocks”, especially when it’s been attempted twice before and failed. He knows it won’t pass again. The epitomy of smugness.
