I was pleased to contribute this short essay on VanDerStok, ghost guns, and the Trump admin's policy priorities to @theregreview.bsky.social annual Supreme Court recap series! www.theregreview.org/2025/07/23/w...

Check out my blog post @statecourtreport.bsky.social on a new gun decision from the Georgia Supreme Court that asks, in part, what happens to original meaning when state constitutional language is readopted over time... statecourtreport.org/our-work/ana...

“While many state courts reflexively lockstep…the Kansas Court of Appeals took a different path in a recent gun case due to a lurking complexity unique to the right-to-arms context.” @andrewwillinger.bsky.social discusses the complexity of lockstepping post-Bruen.

Does originalism always work in practice when it filters down to state courts? I blogged @statecourtreport.bsky.social about a recent Kansas case that confronted that issue in the gun rights-context @brennancenter.bsky.social

Now that it is PrawfsBlawg is official, I want to express my excitement that @andrewwillinger.bsky.social will join GSU's College of Law next year as part of our constitutional law cohort. He's going to be an exceptional addition to our faculty and we look forward to him coming to Atlanta!

“Mel Gibson is a friend of the president and that should be justification enough" - only underscores the need for Congress to resume funding an actual gun rights restoration program that's broadly available, rather than doing this ad hoc based on fame/connections

Trump issued an EO on 2/7 directing the AG to assess fed rules, policies, and positions for possible 2nd Amendment violations w/in 30 days - as I suggest here, that the deadline passed with no news shows how gun rights are taking a clear back seat to other priorities. abcnews.go.com/Politics/ag-...

If you've been following this area of law, you will be *shocked* to learn that the judge who invalidated Maine's 72-hour waiting period law on Second Amendment grounds was appointed by...Donald Trump.
