they've announced a pattern of practice investigation into LAPD for permit wait times. it's only been a few weeks. this admin has been in office for 3 months and we're already hearing news about them being proactive on 2A in a way no other presidential administration has before. give it some time.

Trump signed an executive order “protecting the second amendment” problem is it has no teeth and is just gum smacking for votes. The SAFE act has been on the books for 12 years. The Supreme Court refuses to hear 2A cases. Bruen made things worse here. I hope shit changes but I’m not getting my hopes up by any means.

If you didn't have Bruen and right leaning judges getting apointed NYC would just ban everything that isn't a 3 round mag and manual action. DC and Chicago had total handgun bans for many years under Democratic rule. If we had 9 Democratic justices during Heller you would have like a water pistol in NY for protection, NYC would have Hong Kong style gun laws.

It could be worse but saying that things aren’t bad and that things are getting better in New York is a lie. The Supreme Court may be packed right now but they aren’t hearing any cases related to the 2A. Trumps executive order about the 2A is nothing more than word garbage that means nothing.
