It’s because we don’t have a choice. A stacked Supreme Court that says any gun law has to be a gun law that would’ve been cool in 1776 has made any progress impossible without violent revolution
If that were true, the NFA would be repealed (the legal ground for it was pretty shaky originally and somehow it has stood)
Laws don’t magically get repealed. Somebody has to challenge it in court and show that it damages them/infringes in their rights. The NFS might fail if challenged (I don’t think it’s been challenged since Bruen), given the Bruen decision. But it’s not in the GOP’s interest
to find a challenge, as that would almost certainly definitely turn off swing voters.
It is true, read the opinion. Clarence Thomas wrote it, which might help it make sense.
