Just sayin'
Jared is a Douglas police officer from what I gather, I’ve also wondered if he was an NES guy. He must be.
My impression is that if he's on here he's smart enough to mostly stay quiet.
I grew up in Minneapolis and Target was the discount version of the big Dayton's department store in downtown Minneapolis (think of Filene’s and Filene’s Basement). It was where the “po’ folk” who couldn’t afford Dayton's went to shop. In 1969, Dayton’s merged with Hudson’s of Michigan to form the Dayton-Hudson Corporation. It kept that name until 2000, when it finally changed its name to the Target Corporation because by then Target represented by far the majority of the business.

They do some basic political math every time a contradiction happens. They desire to legalize weed, but their desire to f*&k over gun owners is stronger. Therefore, weed bad.Thinking of getting a Med card to buy your legal weed cheaper and thinking all is clear with the recent Supreme Court decision, think again. The Govt doesn't quit that easy:
The Biden administration defends federal ban on gun possession by medical marijuana users
The Biden administration yesterday urged a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit challenging the ban on gun possession by medical marijuana users, saying
The Biden administration yesterday urged a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit challenging the ban on gun possession by medical marijuana users, saying that law is consistent with a long tradition of firearm regulation in the United States. Furthermore, the Justice Department says, that prohibition makes perfect sense because marijuana use impairs the ability to handle guns responsibly.
The government's lawyers were responding to a lawsuit by Nikki Fried, a Democrat who runs the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Fried, whose department oversees concealed carry permits and some parts of Florida's medical marijuana industry, argues that prohibiting all cannabis consumers from owning guns violates the Second Amendment. She also claims that the policy violates a congressional spending rider, known as the Rohrabacher-Farr Amendment, that bars the Justice Department from interfering with the implementation of state medical marijuana laws.
Authors seem to think defacto “handgun bans” via the creation of lists is unlikely to pass constitutional musterRestoring the Right to Bear Arms: New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen

Am also cynical, but the Bruen case has already had at least one unexpected ruling in a criminal case regarding possession of a firearm. The charges were dropped on constitutional grounds. Did not think this would happen this soon. (Sorry could not find a link to the particular story - it may have been posted on NES?)
The way I read the decision, he very much left the door open for the elimination of licensing in the future, and simply was not at this time making a conclusion on the subject, rather simply setting the standard that must be used should it come up later.
right.
Even Kagan pointed out during the oral arguments that we don't require licenses for other Constitutional rights. At the end of the day, though, she voted her party line and I think shooting down licenses altogether would have been a bridge too far for Roberts and probably Kavanaugh.
