1. Today’s Supreme Court decision striking down NY state’s gun licensing law throws into question a range of gun regulations. This raises many serious concerns, but a less noticed one is its impact on the First Amendment rights of protesters. #ProtectProtest (1/11) 2. The US has seen a rash of protests/counter-protests with firearms. Protests with guns are much more likely to be violent. They are also intimidating. As one friend said: “I won’t go to a protest where I know there are guns. It’s too scary” @Everytown acleddata.com/2021/08/23/arm…
