The opinion noted the decision made by the Supreme Court last year initiated the wave of new rulings. Winkler wrote Justice Clarence Thomas, the controversial Supreme Court judge, led a high court majority saying that today’s gun laws must be consistent with the 1700s and 1800s gun laws. Winkler, in the LA Times Opinion, summarizes “…gun violence is spiking in America. “And the scourge of mass shootings continue; according to the Gun Violence Archive Nashville was the 129th since January (the archive has since added two more to its list). Indeed, if the justices do not act soon, there may be few gun laws left that even try.”
