Old account inadvertently nuked. Starting over after losing 16 years of tweets and 8k followers. 🤷‍♂️

Oh well. Here we go.

Minnesota’s intent element doesn’t vanish because Duke files the law under “Categorical Bans.”

Minneapolis’s ordinance doesn’t become enforceable because someone counted its residents.

Overrelying on Duke’s incomplete database is how cherry-picked citations get promoted into imaginary legal traditions.

Read the statute. Read the cases. Check applicability. Check enforceability.

“Duke had it in a spreadsheet” is not a constitutional test.

Minnesota Angle: Cook County's SCOTUS gun-ban brief has a MN problem. Two, actually.

An intent-based offense becomes support for blanket bans. A preempted city ordinance helps pad the argument for widespread regulation.

Let's check the receipts.

To be clear, Minneapolis really voted for restrictions. That's political theater. It does not show its residents live under a valid local AR-15 ban.

State preemption does not disappear because the ordinance has a footnote in a Supreme Court brief.

If you can't practice law, you're not a lawyer.

Hope that helps.
