We talked a few months ago about how gun rights have recently sustained losses in states where things had previously been stable.
This is either a rising trend or a last gasp. The argument for the former is that it seems to be accelerating. The argument for the latter is that of course it’s accelerating — states always pass performatively extreme laws when they know the Supreme Court is getting ready to strike them down.
The Supreme Court probably is going to curtail AWB laws in the next couple years, so “this is the last gasp” is probably the correct analysis. But that doesn’t make the laws any less real. The Supreme Court is a last line of defense for vindicating individual liberties, and more often than not, it abdicates that role at the crucial moment. So if you’re in a position where you need a Supreme Court ruling to go your way, you need to improve your position.
This is all just a reminder of the order of operations we always come back to: tech → culture → politics. Politics is the furthest downstream, which makes it the least stable one to rely on. You could even tack “law” onto the end, downstream of politics. Keep focused upstream. Doing a good job there makes the job downstream much easier.

Its getting to be time for that 2A resist tyranny thing, and deposing these left wing anti-constitution, anti-American, marx*ist soc* ialist, traitor politicians. The soap box has been tried and it results in endless argument and discussion. The ballot box has been tried and it results in these traitorous politicians cheating and lying their way into office. The jury (judicial means) box has been tried and it results in a ‘forever’ legal battle with no firm resolution that stops them from coming up with more and/or simply ignoring court decisions or doing work around that is clearly unconstitutional, and they have not stopped. The next box is the cartridge (ammunition) box.
We can keep playing this judicial and political game, and our children and their children will still be playing those games in the future and it will go on and on – or – we can make it so costly for these left wing anti-constitution, anti-American, marx*ist soc* ialist, traitor politicians that they will tend towards not doing it or even consider not running for office. Our country founding generation and founders did not fight a war to defeat the worlds most powerful military force and country of the time (the British) and their tyranny, and establish a constitutional republic and Constitution with rights of the people for it to be discussed or judicial-zed or legalized or political’d into oblivion, they did not sacrifice to have the rights that belong to the people controlled and done away with, by the tyranny of a bunch of left wing anti-constitution, anti-American, marx*ist soc* ialist, traitor politicians or any government or ‘private’ body.
As long as these left wing anti-constitution, anti-American, marx*ist soc* ialist, traitor politicians can keep us playing their ‘you don’t like it then take us to court’ games they will keep doing it.
