Thank God we have Tucker... he is one of us... but I wonder for how long.
Tucker on TV is a right wing bully looking to sell your eyeballs to advertisers. He's an ass on TV. He's not that guy in real life. It's an act just like O'Really was.
I hit post before I finished typing (I hate touch pads)
They resolved A split with Bruen however they created a completely new standard to be applied in doing so - that standard was not fully described and leaves a lot of room for circuits to interpret the boundaries of what SCOTUS will accept.
They could have directed the circuits to find in a specific manner but did not like it did in Caetano
In Caetano the issue was that a stun gun was completely illegal so her having an LTC didn't factor in.
SCOTUS focused on the lower court's error in the opening statement:
They then show how the lower courts incorrectly argue that stun guns are not covered in three ways, all of which were well addressed in Heller
The final statement directs the lower court to find that stun guns are in fact included in the 2A.
Once SCOTUS declares stun guns to be included in the 2nd then Caetano could not possibly have broken a law since nowhere else was the possession regulated in Mass law.
Stun guns. Broadswords. Automatic-open knives. Ninja stars. Suddenly, all of the stupid carry laws in all the states could be eliminated.
They didn't direct the lower court to do anything other than reconsider the case in light of Bruen in Bruen itself.
As in "My Cousin Vinny" where Joe Pesci said "I think I get the point" that is what the lower courts should understand when a case is GVRed.
Note that I expect a couple of upvotes for getting a My Cousin Vinny reference into a discussion of the Supreme Court.
I've always read Caetano to be intended as a slap down of the Mass SJC. For that matter a case remanded to a state supreme court is different than one remanded to a lower federal court.
I'm enjoying the SC making hte mASS SJC irrelevant. "Sorry. You're just wrong. Go back to your waterfront mansion and sip you creaaaahnberry juuze."
Guns & Gadgets and the Armed Scholar are two of the better 2A news channels on YouTube. Jared at Guns & Gadgets tends to post more often and with more “breaking” news, and then he’ll follow up with more in depth in later videos.
I can't watch Armed Scholar. It's like watching Patrick from Sponge Bob. He's just not dynamic at all.
I tend to watch Langley Outdoors most often b/c his schtick is predictable so I can FF easily to the meat of the story.
