The US Supreme Court and its decisions

That's long been a bogeyman of the left, but data shows that the country is usually pretty close to a 50/50 split on the issue. Generally pro guns folks are more passionate about it as an issue than anti gun folks.
Here is an interesting article about how polls on the issue tend to not fully intersect with reality.
There is a huge portion of the gun owning/supporting population, that are not going to advertise there support, answer pollsetc regarding it. They do not want to stand out, or end up on a list.
Fun fact: There's actually a left-leaning gun association called the Socialist Rifle Association, you just never really hear about it ever. (I only know about it cause of a few folks on a Discord chat I'm in.) https://socialistra.org is their site I believe?
And last I heard of the NRA, they did declare bankruptcy, but were reforming and re-chartering in a different state.

The LGBTQ community is also usually much more pro gun than many people think, just usually less vocal about it.
. . . . a silent majority, you say? Hmm, wonder how that'll work out this time.
In all seriousness, I do question how much lobby spending the NRA is doing at this time. Wayne LaPierre has pretty much run the ol girl into the ground. What do they have to lobby with aside from their name and endorsement?
Obergefell's on its last legs.

Supreme Court just countered landmark gay marriage ruling, Sotomayor warns
Justice Sonia Sotomayor warned of the burden same-sex couples may face after a recent decision made by the Court.

That seems like a massive leap by Sotomayor, but I don't know. Newsweek didn't link to the ruling or the rebuttal.
I give Newsweek an F on this one.

While we should be concerned, it's a bit of a stretch in this case. The person in question was not a citizen, his wife was. If anything this would only affect same sex/trans couples if one of the members happens to be a non-citizen. Still bad, but not Obergefell's on it's last legs bad.
The take away point: if they're willing to do it to them, it's only time till they're willing to do it to you.
They're willing to do it now. What they're waiting for is the right time and excuse to get away with it.
It shouldn't really matter anymore if Obgerfell is overturned, because in the meantime Congress went and enshrined it into law.
Now, if they start trying to get that law declared unconstitutional, that's gonna be a problem.

Yeah, no this is not the end of same sex marriage. While Sotomayor's dissent does mention that same sex couples, it is in reference to the difficulties they will face with multinational marriages where one spouse isn't allowed to enter America.
The circumstances here are very specific and it will be a massive stretch to attempt to use this to do anything other than what was applied here.
I'm really not worried about this one.

The final SCOTUS decision today is Snyder v. US. Kavanaugh has the court's 6-3 decision on ideological grounds, holding that the Section 666 bribery statute does not apply to "gratuities" given for public officials' *past* acts. Jackson writes the liberals' dissent.

Also strangely appropriate that that statute is Section 666.

The Supreme Court, I’ve rabidly come to the conclusion is like the worse part of our House of Lords (being a load of unelected-for-life lawmakers) but with its powers greatly magnified to almost dictatorial levels. It seems to be a terrifying system to live under.
