Notes from the Resistance
“I will get rid of gun-free zones on schools, and — you have to — and on military bases,” Trump said, to scattered cheers during a campaign rally on Thursday night. “My first day, it gets signed, okay? My first day. There’s no more gun-free zones.” [More]
Don’t get too excited. He said that nine years ago.

So, although I agree unequivocally with you that this is going to be and is being twisted to hurt us, so is every aspect of everything (SCOTUS Bruen footnote on permitting schemes, anyone?, and endless other dicta). I don’t see the point of eliminating this very good test because they will twist it like everything else they twist. My main reason for writing this is to hopefully get a reply back on your thoughts on what I am saying. [More]
See, I never said eliminate the test. I even agreed with showing how it can be a very effective tactic to use for now.
What I’m saying is don’t get so wrapped up in the “common use” argument that it restricts the introduction of other truths, and there are better arguments for challenging the restrictions on the full autos we’re entitled to that our legal “leaders” have not been inclined to use.
That and future devel0pments in weapons technology can be withheld from us because they’re not in common use.
Change the concept to “in common use by police and soldiers” and I’ll stop screaming at passing cars about it.
