Give it 6 months before someone is arguing before the Supreme Court that “the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed” is an absolute statement and any gun control legislation is unconstitutional.
And the Supreme Court will buy it.
They’ve already ruled on that… repeatedly… but of course precedent means fuck all to this court anymore…
D.C. Vs. Heller - 2008
https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/554/570/
“Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues. The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms”
One step past that is “Congress shall pass no law.”
I’m not positive they won’t go that far either.
They wont make it a total free for all, they’ll still want their victims as defenseless as possible. I would not be surprised if gun stores start asking for proof of Party affiliation before any purchase. Courts will say “private business nothing we can do lmao.”
