    Do you have any dissenting opinion pieces they have written?

    In the ruling? In the article? United States v. Rahimi. Court rulings aren’t yea/nea votes. They are very explicitly arguing over why/how broadly they think Bruen, which Thomas wrote, should be interpreted in this case and going forward.

    Focusing on the words on the page to the exclusion of where/when/why the letters were written is taking them out of context. Just reading the text, it sure seems like Jonathan Swift is really in favor of eating babies.

      So you don’t, just say that. We’re not talking about the rahimi ruling. You don’t need to explain how a ruling works and yes they do still “vote” on a ruling. They don’t all just write opinions and then magically uphold or strike down a ruling…

      No it’s not, you’re literally trying to make it something its not. You’re assessment that Jefferson was anti gun is completely incorrect.
