The Trump Administration Defends the Federal Ban on Interstate Handgun Sales

[GrootheWanderer]

Disappointing. But not at all unexpected.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

"only modestly burdens the right to keep and bear arms."

Must be the "modest burden" exception to the "shall not be infringed" clause.

[Wilderness Conservative]

Once they no longer need you, they no longer hear you.

[uranium penguin]

Modest Burden... That falls under “Strict Scrutiny”?

[Enterprise]

It also affects interstate commerce. But that is different somehow.

[Pete Dovgan]

Once they no longer need you, they no longer hear you.

2020 proved they no longer need us. With a little help from the CCP, they can rig it any way they want it.

I can’t say I agree with the Trump Admin choice to restrict guns. “There are four boxes to be used in the defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and cartridge (or ammo). Please use in that order.” The Biden administration silenced people, worked with the CCP to rig elections, used the legal system to attack political opponents......and we just barely escaped the the last box.

We need the last box to be there, because clearly the Democrats don’t respect the others.

[vpintheak]

Infringe meaning:
To encroach upon in a way that violates law or the rights of another.
FedGov lawyers need to study up.

[from occupied ga]

Democrats somewhat respect/fear the last box because they are hell bent on eliminating it.

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

Sounds like his PAST supporters whom he no longer wants supporting him.

We been Hillaried, McCained, Romneyed. Republicanned.
It’s a religion of peace STUPID!

Yea.

[from occupied ga]

I must have a typo in my copy of the bill of rights. The second amendment on mine ends saying “shall not be infringed.” I guess the official government copy says “shall only be moderately infringed.”

[armourenthusiast]

Once Trump no longer needs you, he no longer hears you and in fact, gaslights you and tells you to get lost..

Ok, then get lost.

[Highest Authority]

This could come with a very heavy price!

[fella]

All weapons laws are infringements.

But the lawyer class fears “We The People” so they make anti-weapons laws anyway.

[Badboo]

Trump has never been solid 2A. Regulated more on guns than Obama. Pami pretty much hates guns.

[BHI2025]

for later.

[NorthMountain]

"serves legitimate objectives" and "only modestly burdens the right to keep and bear arms."

There's a couple of schumeresque lies.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

The Trump administration was good for six months.

Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

[old-ager]

Fools abandoning Trump over this will help get something worse than Biden, Pelosi, Harris and Obama selected.

Send your demands to your congresscritter and the White House, but don’t be stupid immature little children.
