    No. Not specifically SCOTUS. This has been a team effort. Conservatives have been working on this for decades. SCOTUS is just the final step. The blood will be on the hands of all republicans whose votes allowed this to happen.

      Democrats aren’t completely blameless either. This was a group effort, and a rare bipartisan move by both parties.

      I mean Obama expanded gun rights during his presidency, specifically lifting restrictions for Amtrak and national parks.

        Yes, but the occasional support for gun rights among democrats is nothing like the monolithic support for it from the GOP. Pointing out this failing on Obama’s part is like pointing out a rain drop falling in the ocean.
