The government cannot just shut down ranges at a whim.

Sure they can.

Some pissant township hacks, closed this range down {or curtailed it's operations} for 4 years and while he has won in a specific court, do you think the hacks will stop.

If this group is done, there will be more coming from a different bunch of gummint stiffs.

It's what they do; "They are, who we thought they were" coach Dennis Greene.

Uh ok... if “conjecture” is now unconstitutional and illegal how in the world are politicians going to function?

90% of the crap they spew is speculation...

I never saw a grandma get pushed over a cliff. Did you?

Yup. The range has not yet won the case after 4 years and tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees: it has just been remanded to a lower court to be reconsidered.

I'm sure the lower court will get right on it.

What cases like this show is that the rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights are incompatible with the administrative state. Any government official at any level can, at any time, interfere with your 1st, 2nd, 4th or 5th Amendment rights and it will take years and a small fortune to get redress. And even if you win in the end, there will almost never be any penalty for the officials involved.

Even with the (remote) possibility that you'll win in court, you need a small fortune to pursue the case. This effectively turns most of the US into an oligarchy, since only the rich can afford access and ordinary people have no effective recourse to the legal system. In addition, the upper classes can purchase exemptions through lobbying or bribery.

The only permanent solution is a restoration of freedom and the abolition of the myriad of picayune regulatory powers or the creation of special courts to expedite and reduce the cost of such adjudication.
