NYSRPA v. Bruen MEGATHREAD [View all]

Let's not count our chickens before they hatch, but who else is looking forward to the upcoming SCOTUS ruling in NYSRPA? I am, feeling confident that this SCOTUS will get it right.

Recall, back in 2016, a gun control advocate would always sign their posts here with "tick tock". The idea was gun rights were "on the clock", time was running out, and soon we'd have a national "assault weapons" ban, mandatory "buy backs", insurance schemes, purchase permits, and God knows what else.

Instead what happened? Since 2016, 18 more states have passed constitutional carry, we've had record gun sales, congress on a bipartisan basis has no appetite for even the flimsiest of gun control scams, and we have a SCOTUS, who by all indications, understands the meaning of "shall not be infringed". Moral of the story? Don't count your chickens before they hatch.
