Life has been good for the Second Amendment lately. Sure, there are state-level setbacks, but the Supreme Court issued two key rulings in favor of gun rights, agreed to take what may become one of the most important cases on guns since the Second Amendment was ratified, and the Department of Justice is proverbially kicking in doors to defend gun rights for a change.
And that's why, it seems, Democrats have decided that since they can't win on the merits of constitutional arguments, they just need to play a little Calvinball and change the rules until they can win.
According to a news alert from the National Shooting Sports Foundation, that’s exactly what anti-gun lawmakers are trying to do. Citing a report at Breitbart.com, NSSF wrote that U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Washington, has made it clear that expanding and overhauling the nation’s highest court to bend to an anti-gun agenda, through a scheme known as SCOTUS court packing, is “absolutely” in play.
In other words, everything was chill when they were winning most cases because of leftist judges and soft-willed conservatives, but now that the tide has turned, everything has to be thrown up in the air until they get the results they want.
It's also why they oppose election integrity laws, when you think about it. It's why they want to abolish the electoral college every time it works against them.
Still, we're talking about gun rights, and this is definitely something that people like Jayapal want to happen, in part because they keep getting their posteriors handed to them over Second Amendment issues.
Be careful, Be ready, Be prepared.
