OA599: Our Massive Gun Problem – What Can We Do?
Added 2022-05-27 04:45:21 +0000 UTCAnother horrific mass shooting has us all asking WTF can we actually do about this? There is plenty of reason for pessimism, but Opening Arguments is here to break down what might realistically be done. This is part 1, focusing on why gun companies are immune from civil actions and what we should do about that. Part 2 will be about the police response.
In the first segment, we give an update on Elon Musk. There was a filing that went virtually unnoticed but sheds more light on the Twitter situation.

It seems to me that a true Constitutional Originalist would accept that ALL regulations on the sales of firearms are constitutional. The 2A gives the right to "keep and bear arms" but confers no right at all to buy, sell, or manufacture them. Strictly following the Constitution, Congress could nationalize the gun industry, as long as it issued to everyone the same arms. That could be a handgun or a musket, so long as everyone received it with equal protection under the law.
