Not true, California’s attempt to do just that just got struck down as unconstitutional.

Says two Trump judges against one Bush judge. Let's see if the en banc court reaches a different result. It's impossible to read the dissenting opinion and not find it persuasive . . . even though it was written by a POS who I loathe, the guy who co-authored the infamous torture memos.

Ikuta is a Bush appointee (and a nice person to boot).

It being constitutional right is debatable. It is right now because the supreme Court says it is but who knows what happens in the future.

What isn't debatable is that we are currently able to regulate based on type. We highly regulate automatic weapons. Whose to say that we can't extend similar regulations to semi-auto. Well the Supreme Court could say it but they haven't said it yet.

I guess anything is possible. But that is highly unlikely anytime soon so it does no good to argue hypotheticals. The issue should be debated based on a set of real or most likely parameters. Arguing pie in the sky variables is a waste of time and just further kicks the can down the road.

I don't think its impossible. The trend around the world is more gun regulations and not less as citizens see the costs of permissive gun policies. Admittedly, the US is going the other way, but there is definitely strong support for more gun regulations in the US, especially regionally. Calling tighter gun regulations pie in the sky tends to shut down debate on an issue that is far from settled.
