This feels like the long-term plan at play here.

Clearly, the right to KABA is an individual right and we have several fresh SCOTUS decisions backing that reality.

The antis seem to be thinking, “ok…those MAGA racist gun nuts also hate illegals. (Editor note: no, actually we love the rule of law.) So let’s give them a gun rights case where, for once, say ‘NO…gun rights aren’t plenary’. And THEN, we can say ‘seee…you said gun rights aren’t absolute over THERE, so NOW we can take guns away from your MAGA people over HERE.”

This feels like a trap.

Yes, very well could be a set up...

But SCOTUS already ruled way back in Heller that

“Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited. [It is] not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose.”

I suspect some of this is going on.

Anti-Second Amendment judges pushing as hard as they can, to see if they can get a weak sister or two on the Supreme Court to blink, and say: oh, we went way too far with Bruen...
