Will be interesting to see what SCOTUS thinks. Think we’ll be OK there.

SCOTUS is downright hostile to the right to keep and bear arms. That fact is fairly well hidden in some mumbo jumbo, but by its inaction, SCOTUS has perpetrated a substantial erosion of the rkba.

Recent example being Heller II, where the DC Circuit found that a ban on 10+ round magazines is constitutional. SCOTUS declined to take up the case.

Little older example being Heller. Scalia made a mishmash of the rule stated by the 1937 Miller case, which would have found ownership of an M-16 to be protected by the 2nd amendment, to find the opposite, on the legal basis that to find otherwise would be absurd. Yes, that was the legal rationale. It would be absurd to read the Miller case for what it says.

Roberts already told the commies that they could restrict the second amendment. The court will rubber stamp any restrictions on the second amendment the Left can push into law, short of a total gun ownership ban. We have to stop them and can not count on the courts.
