The Onion strikes again Study: More Americans Buying AR-15s To Defend Selves From Toddlers Who Found Their Guns WASHINGTON—Shedding light on the enduring appeal behind assault rifle ownership, a Pew study released Monday revealed that more Americans were buying AR-15s to defend themselves from toddlers who found their guns. https://www.theonion.com/study-more-americans-buying-ar-15s-to-defend-selves-fr-1850825860
The org had already reshaped America once. >1 decade earlier, it brought a case to #SCOTUS about individual #gun rights, & the majority ruled, for the 1st time, that states could not ban a #law-abiding citizen from owning a #firearm.
While fights over gun-reform #legislation would increasingly dominate the attention of Americans, that victory placed the #SAF at the vanguard of a hidden #legal war, which continues … to challenge the #GunRegulations that are already on the books.
After #Bruen, multiple lawsuits involving #GunRegulations were filed.
In his #Rahimi dissent, #ClarenceThomas writes:
“…if the #SecondAmendment right was historically understood to allow an ofcl to disarm anyone he deemed 'dangerous,' it may follow that modern Congresses can do the same...
“…Yet, historical context compels the opposite conclusion. The Second Amendment stems from English resistance against 'dangerous' person laws.”
In dissent, #SCOTUS Justice Sonia #Sotomayor said the majority’s opinion would have “deadly consequences," adding that the court “hamstrings the government’s efforts to keep machineguns from gunmen like the Las Vegas shooter.”

It's not the guns. They are the deadly tools.
It's stupid people using guns handed to them by NRA and GOP arseholes. 😤

"One of the forms Card filled out included yes/no questions he had to complete. One asked ... if he’d ever been “adjudicated as a mental defective OR . . . ever been committed to a mental institution?” Card indicated that he had; over the summer he’d spent two weeks in a facility after claiming to hear voices."
But what if he had checked "No"? It's unclear.
