I'm enjoying the notion that the Bruen precedent could be used to restore the 1792 Militia Act. Burdening white men with finding a flintlock and knapsack in this day and age has me in stitches.
No it couldn't because laws establishing militias (including the National Guard) do not place a burden on the right to keep and bear arms. Bruen's THT test is never triggered.
You didn't read that right; at no point did I take the outcome seriously.
But the real point isn't Bruen's specific test: it's the precedent established that activist judges can rewind legal interpretation by centuries which is concerning. Our legislative history contains some real doozies that we don't want coming back.
They didn't rewind legal interpretations. If you're referring to the individual rights vs "collective" rights debate from Heller (which Bruen reaffirmed), the historical record is strongly in favor of individual rights.
