Minnesota Angle: Cook County's SCOTUS gun-ban brief has a MN problem. Two, actually. An intent-based offense becomes support for blanket bans. A preempted city ordinance helps pad the argument for widespread regulation. Let's check the receipts. supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/2…

To be clear, Minneapolis really voted for restrictions. That's political theater. It does not show its residents live under a valid local AR-15 ban. State preemption does not disappear because the ordinance has a footnote in a Supreme Court brief.

Minnesota’s intent element doesn’t vanish because Duke files the law under “Categorical Bans.” Minneapolis’s ordinance doesn’t become enforceable because someone counted its residents. Overrelying on Duke’s incomplete database is how cherry-picked citations get promoted into imaginary legal traditions. Read the statute. Read the cases. Check applicability. Check enforceability. “Duke had it in a spreadsheet” is not a constitutional test.

🚨BREAKING🚨

Solicitor General John Sauer just notified Congress “that @TheJusticeDept [will not] file an appeal” in GOA’s victory against the NFA, Silencer Shop v. ATF.

ATF cannot force GOA members to register suppressors or short barrels EVER AGAIN. This is PERMANENT! 🇺🇸
