Forty years of Supreme Court rulings in favour of auto owners.

That was pretty formidable.

Still waiting for the NRA to argue for Article 1, where the government arms the militia and dictates the training to the states. Haven’t heard a peep on that one.

That might be the way to argue the case. Congress is abdicating its responsibilities under the Constitution (much like Judge Garland) to the NRA.

Those 40 years of supreme court rulings were just case law. At that level, what one supreme court does another one later on can undo at will.

For automobiles, we really did see a change from operating it is an absolute right to operating it is a privilege (and a heavily licensed and regulated privilege).

The second amendment most likely prevent changing from a concept of a “right to keep and bear arms” to a “privilege to keep and bear arms”.
