    Biden-appointed U.S. District Court Judge David Urias said during a Wednesday hearing that the order violated the Constitution.

    “The violation of a constitutional right, even for minimal periods of time, unquestionably constitutes irreparable injury,” Urias said during the hearing.

      Do you take every district court decision to be the last word on what is or isn’t constitutional, or do you wait for the supreme court to rule?

      What is “constitutional” changes all the time. The AWB was constitutional. Mag limits were constitutional. Background checks are constitutional.

      At some point, this may be found to be constitutional, or not, but it’s not like the constitution is some unchanging document, and it certainly doesn’t mean that federal or state governments cannot restrict who can buy which firearms under which conditions, or regulate how they may be legally carried. That’s been the case forever.
