Wauck has the story.
SCOTUS overturns mag bans, assault weapons ban, and carry ban, tells appellate courts "Go back and redo in light of what we said in Bruen."
What this means: The 9th Circuit upheld CA's mag ban and HI's carry ban. SCOTUS overturned those rulings, and the 9th Circuit now has to apply text, history, and tradition to those anti-gun laws.
Same thing with MD's assault weapons ban. The 4th Circuit ruling upholding it has been reversed, and the lower court has to redo based on the actual text of the 2A. This spells doom for assault weapons bans.... --quoting Nat'l Ass'n for Gun Rights
Thomas & Co. knocked down the "two-step" theory used in dozens of gun-rights cases. The second step was always the obstacle, because it endorsed the 'test' (like that of NYC) which--in practice--allowed the City/County/State to deny the applicant based on........whatever they damn well pleased.
Not good enough for a FUNDAMENTAL right.
