John, so the
Supreme Court is a disaster. 😡
Our current Supreme Court is an unpredictable, angry hornet’s nest when it
comes to gun safety, human rights, accountability, and honestly any kind
of actual justice. They granted the U.S. President the right to commit
crimes, made homelessness illegal, and torched gun safety laws.
Last year the arch-conservative Supreme Court in New York State Rifle &
Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen struck down a law in New York that
limited concealed carry. They said it was unconstitutional because there
was no parallel law in place in the 1700s.
We fought hard against it and filed an amicus brief. But we lost, and the
decision the Supreme Court made set a precedent for U.S. v. Rahimi by the
Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which would have granted domestic abusers
the right to carry firearms.
We filed a brief in that case too, and thankfully, we won. Because of your
support and our legal work, convicted domestic abusers still can’t carry
firearms.
But Bruen still stands and could threaten dozens of other gun laws. In
fact, just this year, the Supreme Court ALSO upheld the Fifth Circuit’s
misguided and deadly decision in Garland v. Cargill, overturning a
Trump-era ban on bump stocks. The kind that the Route 91 Harvest music
festival shooter used to shoot 1,000 rounds in ten minutes, killing 60
people and injuring 500.
We can’t let this be our reality, and we cannot trust a Supreme Court
that’s more interested in partisanship than the rule of law. If we do,
they’ll set us back hundreds of years. We can’t let that happen.
We need candidates who will pass common-sense gun laws, codify safety for
all demographics, and hold the Supreme Court to higher standards — and to
do that we need the resources to elect candidates that will deliver on
those promises. [ [link removed] ]Let’s build a safer future today — we need your
