Don’t these “settlements” simply avoid the actual question at hand? Seems lacking a definitive judgement as precedent merely delays the matter, leaving govt free to come back like Christmas past.

We spent years trying it your way you stupid and evil anti-gun gun-controllers with the gun free zones, we law abiding people didn’t have any choice being, ya know, law abiding – and your way specifically got people killed with your gun free zones. You evil monsters, you promised people safety with a make believe force field of a gun free zone, that specially attracted over 95% of mass/school shooters – and like most everything you evil people say that promise of safety was a lie too. You passed laws establishing your gun free zones and in doing so you basically by law gave these mentally ill killers their own hunting grounds. You evil people didn’t provide any creditable stopping ability for the killers once they entered your gun-free zone, and your way ended up facilitating murder. You removed the ability for people to protect their selves and others against these mentally ill monsters that you activated and unleashed on the world when you rang that dinner bell called a gun-free zone.

gun free zones, defined:

“gun (gŭn) free (frē) zone (zōn)

* Trap in which people congregate and are falsely promised safety by a make believe force field of a ‘No Guns” prohibition.

* A place where people are disarmed and not permitted life saving self-defense with firearms.

* Hunting grounds for violent predator criminals and mentally ill killers and mentally ill Trans killers and pedophiles and rapist, where defenseless prey is guaranteed by law.

* Place where existing laws against violent crimes do not work to prevent violent crimes the laws are touted to be able to prevent.

* Places designed to attract violent mentally ill predators.

* Places where police forces cease to operate to protect before the fact of a violent crime as they are touted to be able to do by politicians implying.

* Places Democrat politicians and anti-gun organizations and the Teachers Union use to attract violent mentally ill people to prey on and harm and kill your defenseless children.

[now arm teachers and staff and train them, if they choose to be armed. Every time a school shooting happens these mentally ill monsters selected a school specifically because the gun-free zone thing meant it was very unlikely there would be anyone there to stop them and that’s why they selected the school targets they did, even the latest in Minnesota said in his ‘manifesto’ that’s why he selected that school.]

Like the “sue and settle” tactics the left used to radically expand environmental and labor regulations, Trump 2.0 is going to take a knee in a lot of GOA / FPC / SAF cases. This will be the fastest way of undoing not only a lot of regulatory overreach but very probably some aspects of the ’68 GCA and maybe even the ’34 NFA.
