Gun Control & RKBA

The intent is to create conflict and dissent among the lower courts concerning firearm regulatory measures facilitating granting cert to cases the conservative majority wants to hear.

The likely motive for the ‘test’ is to allow the Court to strike down state AWBs and magazine capacity restrictions, while allowing other measures to remain in effect, such as rendering domestic abusers prohibited persons, although there is no ‘historical tradition’ of laws addressing guns and domestic violence.

It’s another example of the right’s propensity to create bad law and to be inconsistent in applying that law.
