Thats the issue, they havent "lost in court" they never went to court. The
court responsible for hearing it. No one is saying hear every case, but
cases of national importance and with immense national consequence need not
ever be punted. The vast majority of pro 2A people understand the 2a
isnt there for hunting game adn the lack of action on scotus part will
result in action elsewhere. There will be blood over this, and its not
necessary. Once scotus actually ruled after hearing the case, most would
move on. The tim mcveighs out there are building their bombs regardless.
But Jane Q would probably go back to canning beets. Instead right now shes
listening to alex jones (why does covid take charlie pride, but not alex
jones, somebody explain this)
