It's so nice to know that the people supposedly interested in the rule of law and the safety of the people have neither of those interests. A snippet I saw from the decision on social media had language that echoed the leaked draft decision, so apparently the standard for constitutional review has become "if you can't convince me that old white men hundreds of years ago meant for this to happen exactly this way in our technological and vastly different society, you can't have it."
Except for guns. They totally foresaw and included automatic rifles and tanks because they just would have. And if you don't agree it’s because you have a uterus or should have one because otherwise you'd understand tihs truth, you heifer.
They say "historical precedent". At the time the bill of rights was adopted we only had muzzle loaders. I wonder how they would rule on a law that only permitted muzzle loader rifles and muzzle loader handguns. Can't get much more historical than that.
Precedent my ass. This weird-ass interpretation of the second amendment is revisionism at its finest - nobody EVER thought it meant "all guns all the time" until the NRA started worrying about going down like tobacco.
Oh, I fully agree, thus the quotation marks and yes, I'd love to see a state test it with a ban on all non-muzzle loading guns.
Just like I can't wait to see the Christian jihad twitch as soon as a non-christian religious school demands a voucher per the ruling against the state of Maine earlier this week that their high school voucher program for towns without a high school must also cover religious schools. The schools that challenged the program never applied to be in it, most likely as they wouldn't be able to meet the state's education standards along with the state's non-discrimination requirements.
