Supreme Court to invalidate all gun laws?

https://apnews.com/article/gun-violence-us-supreme-court-colorado-shootings-politics-f919b74dc95062f322389349f35c0e93

The court understands that gun enthusiasts are a bulwark of
minority rule; their votes are cheaply bought by opposing
all gun laws.    Doesn't even cost anything; NRA does the
publicity for free.

kind -

Being forgotten is worse! No wonder some of the losers
pick up guns.   That's not insanity.    The insanity is

The desire for immortality via celebrity is no stronger for
American mean than other men.      The difference is that
American men have the tools they need, and the senators to
enable them, all for the sake of maintaining minority rule.

Biden signed off on a gun safety bill that was weak and
ineffective enough to get 15 GOP senate votes.   That means
35 voted against it.  But those 15 will be hearing from
