I’m still moving to Texas.
Is that a retirement plan or something planned for the near future?
Me too!
Men (and women) in black robes are dangerous. By their logic, we can only own black powder muskets, pistols and cannons.
“Is that a retirement plan or something planned for the near future? “
Both. Already retired and getting the house ready to sell.
that cannon sounds like maybe a good idea?
The only Dangerous Gun is the one that blows up in your face when you pull the trigger.
While Britain’s foundries had been perfecting the art of gunmaking for centuries, until the Revolution very few American founders had ever cast cannons. And as tensions between the mother country and the colonies had grown, Britain had banned manufacture of artillery in America, declaring it both illegal and disloyal to cast guns. Nonetheless, with the outbreak of hostilities, the Continental Congress and the governing bodies of the colonies called upon America’s ironmasters to manufacture cannons—and to do so with all haste. At the risk of their lives and property, many complied.

SCOTUS need not ‘clarify’ the simple English of the 2nd: “Shall NOT be infringed” negates any/all other Socialist pretzel ‘logic’.
I find the “This led to a retrial by a rare en banc panel of the entire court which stood behind the ban in a 10-4 ruling earlier this year.” MUCH more troubling.
But, as noted, expecting politicians to reign in judicial activism, when they themselves agree w/ the black robed tyrants....
Need to start more ‘Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law’ lawsuits. Govt employees have no immunity of office for such illegality.

Bit of a risky case. Only two for sure conservatives with Gorsuch as an unknown on this issue but most likely will favor overturning the ban.

IMO, not so much. It’s when the damn lawyers create libraries of lawyer-speak do the courts gain the ability to parse ‘IS’ instead of the subject at hand.
The filing should be short and sweet: any\all ‘gun control’ laws are null/void vs. ‘shall not be infringed’.
NOTHING need be brought up re: The People, grammatical contexts and sentence structure, ‘trench sweepers’ vs. WWI, etc.
Either the language stands on its own, or it is yet another example of our lost Republic.
Hence, why the case would NEVER be allowed to wind its way through the courts. It would be THE end-all on the lawsuits.
Gov’t has multiple definitions for almost everything you can think of, except “infringement.”
