Bruen terrifies the Deep State Swamp. What other areas of “law” would fail its test?

He said he thought the firearm might have belonged to an officer. He allegedly said he picked it up and was going to give it to an officer but was taken into custody shortly after. [More]
That would be enough to give me reasonable doubt.
Besides, marijuana? Why should he be punished and Hunter Biden get off?

If Trump had bought the glock, [sic] there would have been questions about the legality of him buying it. [More]
Possibly. Even though ATF doesn’t list it, [CORRECTION: They cite it under the list] there’s the 18 U.S.C. § 922 prohibition (assuming you can navigate through the amendments) but then there’s the Texas judge’s Quiroz ruling…
Beats me. If I were him I wouldn’t let anyone photograph me holding a gun without advice of counsel. I wonder if that will be used against him.

The sooner this gets resolved, the sooner I can resume finding out what I’m looking for — or at least go through another round of stonewalling.

And then there’s action on the restraining order front…
I’ll bet a lot of “prohibited person” exclusions could be overturned with the right case, starting with the “one year” nonsense that has no bearing on proven proclivities for violence.
No point passing gun control if you don’t prosecute gun crimes. [More]
It depends upon what the meaning of the term “gun crime” is.
And if someone victimizes someone else, the object can’t be to teach them “that human life has value and that they can’t just go around putting people in danger like that.”

“Legally purchased” implies legally retained.

And you know what that would mean.
A convicted burglar was arrested for murdering an elderly couple, a mother and her 15 year-old daughter then taking to Facebook to claim they’d been controlling his mind by using telepathy. [More]
So he was a prohibited person?
And not to add to the conspiracy craziness, but what’s up with his creepy video, and why does it suggest some kind of poor deepfake CGI…? Anybody else get that vibe?

Last week, U.S. District Judge Carl J. Nichols sentenced Carter to nine months in federal prison for the theft of public funds. [More]
So … “illegal” gun … impersonating being a fed … but he’s not a “prohibited person” after all the other charges were dropped?
Guess that wouldn’t look good on Schneider’s guncreds.
I wish I thought a FOIA would do any good here…
