Attorney General McCuskey leads SCOTUS amicus brief challenging D.C.’s high-capacity magazine and assault weapons ban [More]
And significantly better than and different from a case we discussed yesterday:
III.Courts Are Incorrectly Analogizing …11
A.The Second Amendment Goes Beyond The Individual Right To Self-Defense … 12
B.Narrowing Heller To Only Self-Defense Leads To Poor Analogical Reasoning … 15
Ignoring Core Purpose Makes 2nd Amendment More Vulnerable to Infringements: The Militia Aspect, Part 1 and Part 2.
The only question left: Why can’t Pam Bondi file an amicus brief supporting this?

Bondi should also NOT appeal favorable 2A rulings.
The militia power is anathema to power seeking government officials. Always has been all the way back to crown appointed colonial governors like Benjamin Franklin’s son. They, rightly, see it as an existential threat. It is the ultimate check/balance in our system and a constant irritation, even when not being invoked. Kind of like a shirt collar that’s just a bit too tight. The irony is that those politicians who do support the existence of the militia are those who have the least to fear from it.
Think body cameras on cops. The ones who are OK with wearing a body camera are the ones who don’t need to be monitored. The ones who do need to wear a body camera are the ones always scheming for a way to turn it off.
