(Please, unless you have several eminent constitutional scholars (not mediocre conservative judges) to quote, please do not post your amateur or NRA or GOP arguments disagreeing with Burger and Waldman. No, this is not an argument from authority, this is relying on a synthesis of opinions by experts. And no, the Brennan Center is on our side and you will not smear them or Waldman.)

If you believe the second amendment prevents gun bans, you’ve been lied to by gun CEOs that want to make money and don’t care if they get Americans kids killed.
No American should be a useful idiot for the gun lobby.

And remember that gun GOP money has bought Republican judges too. Scalia died on a rightwing billionaire gun junket, that if he were a regular federal employee would have been an illegal bribe.

Republicans love guns because gun identity politics gets people to vote for tax cuts for billionaires. That’s why billionaires fund the NRA.
