Breaking Down the Hemani Arguments | Duke Center for Firearms Law

NEW: I wrote up a short, breezy 3,700 word post for @dukefirearmslaw.bsky.social blog w/ reactions to the Supreme Court's oral arguments in US v. Hemani earlier this week.

I may be overly optimistic about getting some coherence in Second Amendment doctrine.

Right now, an assistant manager at Missouri's 7th most profitable Kia dealership is reading this to motivate his sales associates, who all have to wear "Lee's Summit Auto Mall" polos with blacked out American flags on the sleeve.

Congratulations, you've been given more money than any country in world history to build a military that can launch missiles at any target on earth from the comfort of the Fox and Friends couch and you're "winning" against a failing third-rate theocratic shitocracy devastated by decades of sanctions

this is not an amount of money any individual or household should be able to have and we have to abolish both billionaires as a group and the economic system that makes them possible

we appear to have four competing fascist movements jockeying for control: blood & soil nazism under miller and hegseth, darwinian ecofascism from rfk, technofascism under vance and musk, and one Big Wet Hitler who understands the true animating core of the american volk is a deep love for shopping

Man Who Gave His Teen Rifle Is Guilty of Murder After School Shooting
A jury found that Colin Gray, the father of the suspect, bore criminal responsibility for the attack at a Georgia school by failing to heed warnings of his son’s struggles.

We have to recognize that giving your child an AR-style rifle as a gift is a qualitatively different ritual than, say, giving your kid a .22 hunting rifle for small game, which was common when I was a kid. The former is about indoctrinating your kid into a culture war.

Obviously Trump is a war criminal one way or another but also I'm willing to believe that Rubio and Hegseth (to say nothing of Netanyahu) tell the president these same kind of lies to get him to act, and he believes them because he is a gullible fool who only cares about being flattered

Pizzagate is the origin story for like two thirds of congressional Republicans. We live in the dumbest possible world and it is the world Pizzagate made

Water pressure is low throughout our city of 200,000 people and many schools have closed for the day because of our 1930s infrastructure but I'm glad there's money to drop bombs on Iran
