This sounds like the trolly problem. If you go down track A, then there are likely to be some horrible family murders. Or track B you will upset the NRA crowd.
… Wow this Rahini guy does sound like a poster child for this law, but
ultimately the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the law is unconstitutional because there was nothing like it in the 1790s
Unfortunately they’ve either learned nothing, or are more than happy to let it happen again - this time with the military. By 2026 or so there’s a very real chance that the military will be full of far right appointees that have no qualms about using nuclear weapons on population centers, carrying out genocides, employing the military against the American people, etc. etc. Just like the judiciary in 2014-2016, the military is full of vacancies waiting for the next far right president to fill overnight as soon as he takes power.
Well, they did recently finally push through some promotions, and Tuberville’s response was basically ‘see, they could push through promotions any time they want, don’t blame me for holding things up’.
Point well made though, the military should be ready for their duties, and it’s time to say they’ve given Tuberville all the time they can and just push ahead.
Which is funny, since firearms were often very strictly controlled in many places throughout the 18th century and earlier. It’s not that they aren’t aware of gun control from the 1790s, it’s that they don’t actually care.

Track B also opens up all manner of other 14A abuses, since this law involves no due process.
