We REVERSE the district court’s judgment and VACATE the order granting injunctive relief [More]In other words, the interstate transfer infringements will continue. And now all SCOTUS has to do to maintain them is nothing.

Good thing we're getting more conservatives in the Supremes to curb abuses. Right?

The bottom line is that technology is on the brink of making all forms of gun control obsolete. There's really nothing Congress or SCOTUS can do about that.
And for that, a heartfelt "thank you" to Cody Wilson and the others that came before him and will come after him.
Once again, the question comes to mind - WHY is there only ONE FFL in D.C.? This seems like a great opportunity for some enterprising young soul to go into direct competition with the (obviously greedy) dealer by simply undercutting his transfer price, to, say, something similar to what everybody else charges. In my area it's usually $25. Maybe there's something wonky with D.C. regulations that makes the current dealer not want to carry any inventory, but all else being the same, anybody who carried inventory would probably be selling them like hotcakes. Granted, his security systems would have to be a bit beefier than usual, considering the local demographics, but given the potential income, that would be more than covered by the usual markup.

“WHY is there only ONE FFL in D.C.?”
Jim Crow gun control.
The feds forced DC to allow people to keep operable guns in their homes (Heller). The feds forced DC to allow people to receive licenses to carry (Palmer v. DC). The feds forced DC not to outlaw businesses necessary to support the RKBA such as shooting ranges and gun shops (McDonald, or perhaps some other Chicago-originated case).
But the feds did NOT say DC had to allow more than ONE of any such business to be available retail, so they did a sweetheart deal with someone who agreed to lick their boots in return for being the only FFL available in the District. It’s like “separate but equal” — they hold onto any remaining discretion to infringe your rights for all it’s worth. That’s how tyrants — in this case, Democrat tyrants — exercise power.

(Have yourself a good laugh at the appearance of Sugarmann on that list. Needless to say, he ain’t selling.)
