I don't know if you like to visit Twitter/X ("TwiX") but this is an excellent first take by Kostas Moros, Second Amendment lawyer on several of the California cases:

One Excerpt:

Alright, a quick reaction thread. The majority first, written by Judge Woods and joined by Judge Easterbrook.

Already off to a horrible start. What falls outside the Second Amendment's protected "arms" has nothing to do with a "military side". Plenty of firearms the military uses now or has used in the past are common among American civilians.

"Arms" refers to "weapons of offence, or armor of defence". There is no qualifications about exempting those arms used by soldiers.

The contempt for Heller and its progeny is palpable.

Remember that their "many years" is just from around the 1930s to 2008. In the 19th century, all major commentators agreed that the Second Amendment applied to an individual right.

His quotes from the opinion and his reactions are a multi-Tweet thread. Excellent reading.

There was a time in the 80s when I signed out a S&W revolver to carry with me when flying in bad places. So...revolvers are “military weapons” too! Ban them!

I was also issued a knife once...

I wonder if we can use a fork for defense.
