but I'm a bit confused. This is the 2nd time the court has told these gun sellers to obey the laws. Do we really think it'll take this time? We also have states and even cities and counties throwing up the one-fingered salute on laws coming down from SCOTUS that they don't like.

So... is it ONLY women's rights... LBGTQ+ and minority rights that the SCOTUS has any effect over these days? What good are they, then?

Kinda reminds me of the old joke of "If a tree falls in a forest and no one hears it fall...."
