But SCOTUS will overturn, right?
I’m asking here. I haven’t been following what the other courts have done in similar situations.
I would bet against SCOTUS granting Cert.
Oh good, I need my high-capacity mags for when I am shooting more deer than I’ve ever seen together in my lifetime or when my apartment is raided by an entire team of assassins.
Then only need 4 for that right?
Against is the default play, since they don’t hear most cases. But I wouldn’t feel that confident.
Right
He was trying to disarm the shooter? Then the shooter must have shot him in self-defense?

Update on the Oxford shooter, apparently his dad bought the gun on sale for Black Friday. Good job good guys with guns. Your kids are out shooting up their schools with them.
It wouldn’t surprise me if he decided to be a responsible parent and teach his kid how to use the gun to protect his mom from getting raped by a home invader or whatever improbable nonsense threats that white suburbanites believe are out there.

Is there a law against not securing a firearm when you have high school kids in the house? Genuinely surprised if the parents get slapped with any charges.
Quite the opposite, arming high school and younger children is a priority for the gun lobby.
Seriously though, requiring liability insurance and/or making gun owners responsible for damages done by their guns should they fall into the wrong hands has been tossed around, but like any other piece of legislation in this country, lololololol.
Not sure how trustworthy, but the Daily Beast
makes reference to this blog post allegedly by the woman married to the shooter’s father who may or may not be his mother.

So he had been planning the attack for a while but just now carried it out. I wonder what could have changed? What made him decide now was the time?
I guess we’ll never know.

It’s likely that he had access to a different gun before that gun was purchased.
From the daily beast article
As a female and a Realtor, thank you for allowing my right to bear arms,” the letter continued. “Allowing me to be protected if I show a home to someone with bad intentions. Thank you for respecting that Amendment.

JFC - the kid’s parents literally were called to the school the morning of the shooting to talk about his behavior and threats. Then he somehow got access to his Dad’s gun. And the school let him go back to class after the meeting. Well played all around.
However, authorities did learn after the shooting that the suspect and his parents met with school officials a few hours before the shooting. Officials met with just the suspect the day before and with the suspect and parents the day of the shooting, Bouchard said.
“The day before, it was a meeting with school personnel about some concerning behavior and the meeting the day of was with school personnel and parents about a different issue,” Bouchard said.
“There’s an additional piece of evidence that hasn’t been released yet, but I can assure you it was troubling, it was disturbing, and unfortunately he was allowed to go back to class,” she said.
A consistent trend in this story is young people doing everything right and being failed at every turn by adults. The kids knew this dude was making threats, they told their parents and authorities, they knew exactly how to lock down in an active shooter situation. One of them charged at the shooter to try to disarm him. Meanwhile the Gen-X/Boomer parents were buying extended clips on Black Friday and having bullshit meetings with administrators. Just completely shameful, we killed you young kids because we love our bang bang toys so much.

“Pro-choice, yes, I am a believer in pro-choice, that a woman should have control over her body. That is something right? That was really the only thing that I could find to try to grasp onto as a reason to not vote for you.”
