Your last part, no historical precedents is where the lefties are banking everything from now on, and in this case, they are flat wrong!Now I'm no legal expert, so anyone else please correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I've been reading it sounds like the scotus not only tossed NY's may issue licensing scheme, but also changed the way that 2A cases have to be decided in a way that makes it much harder for anti gun laws to be found constitutional.
Some appellate courts like the 9th had been using a two step framework for deciding 2A cases that made it really easy to find 2A infringements constitutional. Thomas pretty much called them out for it, and said that for a gun law to be found constitutional, there has to be historical precedent for the restriction going back to around the time the 2A was written. I've read a bunch of people saying that there's no way such a historical precedent exists for something like a mag ban or AWB.
Historically, a magazine existed back then, they were horse drawn and usually contained plenty of shot, powder, and supplies. Assault weapons did exist back then, and as it's a made up term of the left, it now applies to historical arms as much as it applies to modern ones, So, the left gets beat by its own rules and terms!
