While You’re Arguing About Birthright Citizenship (Which Is Totally F’d Up), SCOTUS Quietly Cleared a Path for Gun Confiscation

While everyone’s distracted arguing over birthright citizenship (and for good reason—it’s so f’d up), the Supreme Court quietly made it easier for a future president to seize your guns.

Yes, seriously.

In oral arguments for Trump v. CASA, Justice Sotomayor asked this exact hypothetical:

“When a new president orders that because there’s so much gun violence going on in the country and he comes in and he says, ‘I have the right to take away the guns from everyone,’ then people—and he sends out the military to seize everyone’s guns—we and the courts have to sit back and wait until every named plaintiff whose gun is taken comes into court?”

Then in her dissent, she spelled it out:

“The Court’s decision is nothing less than an open invitation for the government to bypass the Constitution.”

This means the federal courts no longer have the power to issue nationwide injunctions to block unconstitutional policies before they’re enforced.

So if a president (say, in 2029?) decides to issue an executive order banning and confiscating all firearms… it can go into effect, even if it’s blatantly unconstitutional, until someone sues, case by case.

This should be setting off alarm bells across the Second Amendment crowd—but instead, they’re cheering it on, because this time it helps Trump.

They don’t realize they just voted to dismantle the only legal tool that could’ve stopped their worst nightmare.

So, maybe it’s time we start writing Project 2029. Starting with all AK-47s.
