And here is Mark Smith to explain. But you know, it seems that the conservatives on the court are the only ones that have manners and refuse to consider cases that haven’t been fully decided in the lower courts.
As if that’s a requirement or something. Sotomayor apparently has no problem bossing the lower courts around on her own.
I still think it all comes down to rank cowardice.

Forty-five Republicans U.S. senators filed a Congressional Review Act resolution to block a Biden administration Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives rule from being enforced that would require anyone who sells firearms to register as federal firearm licensees.
[ … ]
Cornyn, who was booed at a Republican Party of Texas convention after he pushed through the bill, is now saying he will fight “this lawless rule tooth and nail to ensure the God-given right to keep and bear arms is preserved and this flagrant distortion of congressional intent of our landmark mental health and school safety law is struck down.”
Some Texas Republicans oppose Cornyn for any consideration as the next Senate majority leader, citing what they argue is his anti-Second Amendment stance, The Center Square reported.
U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis, R-NC, who did not join the CRA, but was a cosponsor of the bill being cited by the Biden administration to implement the rule, said it was “outrageous that the Biden Administration decided to take a good faith effort to curb the mental health crisis across our country and turn it into an unconstitutional attempt to restrict firearms from law-abiding American citizens. This overreach is exactly why Republicans don’t trust this Administration, and it will setback any attempt on future bipartisan legislation as long as President Biden is in office.”
Yeah right.
He’s a real 2A champion at the moment, isn’t he?
This CRA, whatever that is, can’t even garner the support of all of the republican senators, much less the majority it needs to prevent a presidential veto.
This is all carnival light and action show, fit for nothing more than electioneering. Cornyn and Tillis are both communists and knew this would happen. Now they get to blame the ATF for it in election season.
Georgiaboy61 explained it in more detail than I have patience for. I hate all of these controllers.

Something else they want to ban. If they could only figure out what it means.

The GOA does God’s work.
In this case, we should expect to see The Empire Strike Back.
There is no one decent or good who works for the ATF. Every one of them have sworn an oath the constitution, and every one of them either breaks it directly or enables someone else to break it. They know what they’re doing, and it’s all intentional.

Remember. They hate you.
If we’re waiting on the SCOTUS to do the right thing, I think we all may be very disappointed.

The US Court of Appeals for Fifth Circuit (TX, LA) has issued a ruling upholding the 2022 federal law requiring additional background checks for 18-20 year olds. They used the so-called “Dicta” from the Bruen decision.
Great.
Cornyn and Tillis are to blame. They are both awful humans. We have Tillis for a couple more years. This is what happens when the party is controlled by money.
And the supreme court is to blame. The supreme court said too much, or too little, or not clearly enough. Or believes the wrong things.
I repeat what I’ve said before. The average age of the freedom fighters at the battle of Kings Mountain was 14 years old.

This is just another tax on firearms owners and an infringement upon God-given rights. Insurance won’t ever pay out for felonies committed or intentional acts, and they know it.
Ah yes, because the people who are too poor to afford the insurance surely have the time and money to ask the courts for an exemption https://t.co/egWcI8nTJu pic.twitter.com/w6RfAQ5xbA

I took a few minutes to look at his decision. Based on what I read, it sounds like he wasn’t able to spend enough time as a high school freshman writing papers for his civics class and wanted to make up by doing things completely unrelated to the task at hand, which was to follow the law.

Americans have been making their own firearms since the founding of the country. The SCOTUS needs to get this one right, or else they relegate themselves to the trash heap of history. The communists already disregard what they don’t like out of the SCOTUS. When they lose the rest of the base, it’s a short hop and a skip to everyone just completely ignoring them. They have no reason to go to work with that kind of reputation. They should just stay home.
