Maybe personal beliefs shouldn’t be imposed on policy that affects different people of different faiths. Wish that was written down somewhere. We could use it as a guideline for how the founding fathers wished the country would be run.
In 2019, Texan Zackey Rahimi assaulted his girlfriend and fired his gun at a witness. He was put under a domestic violence restraining order, which he violated by possessing a firearm—an infraction under a 1994 federal laws—which he fired at people on multiple occasions. In his defense, Rahimi argued that the restraining order’s gun ban violated his 2nd Amendment right to bear arms.
The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals agreed: there was no 18th century law analogous enough to the statute barring Rahimi from possessing a gun, and therefore under Bruen, that statute must be unconstitutional.
Yo what the FUCK
I can see why Texas is the venue that Republicans go to when they wanna get some crazy shit into precedent on a federal level
The 18th century analogy standard was widely misused. Probably because SCOTUS didn’t make it clear and it’s a strange standard anyway. But yeah, the fifth circuit is a wild one
I mean it’s basically a gateway to bad laws
“If there’s any dispute between how it used to be and how it is now, we want to make it so how it used to be wins”
“Wait isn’t there usually a reason they changed it?”
“I said no questions”
It’s like exigent circumstances only exist when it benefits their arguments…
Confused what the complaint is here, they ruled that you can’t be a criminal and own a firearm.
We have a bigger issue that abusers are rarely forced to give up their firearms.
Did you read the article? It’s mostly about how Rahimi relates to Bruen and why that makes it so problematic. Nowhere do they condemn the outcome
So it’s more bullshit take on the Bruen ruling that anti-2a groups are still salty from? This has nothing to do with the Rahimi ruling at all…

I read the article, it’s exactly as I described it, bitching from the anti-2a crowd about Bruen
You all can down vote me all you want. That’s literally what the article is. The 2nd isn’t going anywhere, you’re a minority of people who want it repealed. And your group got even smaller now that people on the left are becoming gun owners more and more.
People don’t take issue with Bruen because they want to repeal the 2nd Amendment. They take issue with Bruen because it’s an insane precedent.
Bruen argues that there hasn’t been meaningful discussion or growth of laws and rights for 200 years. It’s a really dumb test. The constitution and amendments are really short. Not because they were written by divine geniuses, but because it is the founding document, it was never meant to be the entire body of law. That’s why it sets up 3 bodies of government to continue to govern and not just a judiciary to impose the constitution like divine mandate.

Lol no that’s bullshit. Plenty want it repealed, usually the loudest do. It’s also not an insane precedent, there has been zero gun control laws that have actively helped drive down crime. It’s all been feel good legislation that’s done nothing but try and kick the can down the road for meaningful progress.

They’re really short because convoluted laws don’t do shit but target those who can’t hire expensive lawyers and lobbiest to avoid them. They’re rules for the working class not for the ruling class.
Laws are complicated because people are complicated.
“Everyone should have the tools to defend themselves from aggressors” is a good sentiment.
This guy having those tools means other people are more directly in danger of having to defend themselves. His personal rights don’t overshadow theirs, so his rights will be restricted based on his past actions. Claiming that’s impossible because 100 guys didn’t think of explicitly saying that in regards to this specific issue in the first few years of constructing an experimental government from scratch is insane.
There have been lots of gun control laws that have helped drive down crime. That’s why we support mental health care, do background checks, and make people separate unsupervised children and guns. It’s why “arms” doesn’t include suitcase nukes and howitzers.
Some folks are trying to spin this ruling as good news for Hunter Biden and I don’t see it.
The court ruled it’s OK to deny gun rights to domestic abusers.
People really think they’ll deny abusers but allow crack addicts? 🤔
“Some folks”
Who tf cares about Hunter Biden?
You’re a fucking mod on this sub? Grow up
Statement of fact: Supreme court doesn’t want criminals to be able to get guns.
Abusers are criminals, no guns for them.
Drug users are criminals… what do you suppose their ruling will be?
It’s not going to benefit Hunter in the slightest.

What the hell is happening
Is this like some advanced level of trolling to drive the mods away to create anarchy
More importantly who the fuck is upvoting it
Some sort of bizarro universe where explaining how a court ruling doesn’t benefit Biden = wanting to see his dick? 🤔
Are you sure you fully comprehend what it is we’re talking about here?
