A Case On Which I Worked Won

Ohio Attorney-General:
COLUMBUS, Ohio) — In a win for the state of Ohio, the Tenth District Court of Appeals has upheld state law on firearms uniformity, overturning a preliminary injunction granted nine months ago to the city of Columbus, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost announced today.

Columbus wanted its own assault weapons ban and limits of firearms possession by 18-21 year olds.

And my work on this will air condition my garage.

I am promoting my response to a comment into the body.

A reader asked what these laws had in common?

1. We hate guns. We do not care what the Supreme Court rule in Brown v. Board of Education NYSRPA v. Bruen (2022). Gun bans today, gun bans tomorrow, gun bans forever!
.
2. They are arguing that the American historical tradition of arms regulation (disarming blacks, Indians, Chinese, Catholics) means that almost any law is allowed.

3. Saul Cornell in particular argues that the state governments have unlimited authority to pass any law that the majority thinks impacts public safety. The same argument applies equally well to sodomy laws, one man/one woman marriage laws, and abortion bans. Whether true or not, they only need believe it.

  2. Sir, do you find a common (mistaken) thread or pattern in the laws being challenged? Do states or localities pushing strict gun control all assert or believe a shared foundational error?
