Everytown Attorney's Response to 'Vampire Rule' Decision Is Downright Hilarious
By Cam Edwards  | 4:30 PM | July 05, 2026
 
The gun control lobby isn't going away, but they have been dealt a serious setback in recent weeks thanks to the Supreme Court's decisions in Hemani and Wolford.
 

Some anti-gunners are putting on a brave face, while others are simply deluding their followers in the hopes of staving off depression and disengagement. Everytown Law's Janet Carter, for instance, is basically insisting that Wolford wasn't a big loss for the gun controllers... and in fact was a disappointment to 2A advocates.


"I don't think that the gun lobby got what they wanted [in Wolford]."

Well, in a way she's right. We got everything we wanted and then some. While the decision itself was pretty narrow, the majority opinion fleshes out the "text, history, and tradition" test in a way that is favorable to those of us trying to protect and secure our Second Amendment rights. The Court made it clear that "arms" are both weapons of offense and defense, that self-defense is not the only reason why arms are protected, and most importantly, that if the plain text of the Second Amendment is implicated by a modern gun control law, then that law is presumed unconstitutional and it's up to the state to prove otherwise.
