Funny how historical tradition works differently for guns and abortions.

They just use these things as tools while doing whatever the hell they want.

In the end, they have damaged the Supreme Court, who have decided that they are the elected government and can do politics as the GOP wishes it to be done.

So the next president must use the levers she has to remake the court and undo the damage.

Trump judge greenlights machine guns under Second Amendment
The ruling highlights how the Republican-appointed Supreme Court majority has expanded gun rights, as well as the impact of Trump’s judicial appointments more broadly.

A federal judge appointed by Donald Trump dismissed criminal charges for machine gun possession this week, citing the Second Amendment and Supreme Court precedent. The ruling highlights how the high court has expanded gun rights, as well as the broader impact Trump has had on the judiciary beyond the Supreme Court.
U.S. District Judge John Broomes’ ruling on Wednesday stemmed from the prosecution of Tamori Morgan, who was charged with two counts of possessing a machine gun under federal law. Morgan cited the Supreme Court’s 2022 ruling in Bruen to argue that the case should be dismissed on Second Amendment grounds. Justice Clarence Thomas’ opinion for the Republican-appointed majority in Bruen said that gun regulations can’t stand unless they’re “consistent with this Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.”
