Hopefully the Bruen decision can be applied to import/export laws and bring an end to these arbitrary bans on the importation of various firearms and firearm-related components. Hard to believe that during our founding there would of existed laws banning the importation of various firearms being that many of the firearms used during our nation's founding were sourced from foreign-nations. British, French, Spanish, Hessian and Scottish sourced arms were pivotal in outfitting our citizens for a war against the British Empire. Just because a bunch of neoconservative Democrats and Republicans see Russia as a threat to their interests, it doesn't mean I and many other Americans do; therefore, as an American citizen those our 2nd amendment was meant to protect us from should not be free to limit my choices in what it is I choose to equip myself with.

  @Tim Tom Zalabim Don't worry, the power of the federal government to control the border - including exports and imports - is literally older than Constitution. And, no, an import ban on one particular gun, manufacturer, or country does not infringe on your RKBA.

  @int19h Do you have historical evidence that would meet the Bruen standard being that we're referring to the regulation of arms (a 2nd amendment related issue) and not general commerce?
  If you can't show import/export restrictions pertaining to arms during the founding of our constitution then you actually don't have any proof that this isn't an infringement.
  Your argument would be akin to the government stating that because they have the authority to regulate a toilet then they have the right to regulate the design and features of arms. The SCOTUS has made the obvious more overt by stating that any and all firearm related issues are to be held to a different standard.

  @int19h Congress also has the power to regulate interstate commerce. Utilizing your standard that would also apply to firearms which are bought and sold across state lines.

  @Tim Tom Zalabim Sure, and it does apply. Restricting people from owning or carrying guns is problematic because that goes against 2A directly. But import bans (or sky-high tariffs, which is functionally the same thing) do not do that - you're not prohibited from owning or transferring anything, not even already-imported firearms that are banned from further importation.

  @int19h There's no consistency in your logic. You're making the Democrat's argument where they justify their proposed bans by saying: "but we're not banning all guns", which as we've seen by lower courts utilizing standards similar to that of Bruen, is in-fact unconstitutional. Because, once again, there lacks "history and tradition" behind the law, which is necessary in any and all firearm related regulations/laws.
  I asked you for proof of these sort of restrictions on firearm imports/exports being longstanding traditions, but you instead just appeal to non firearm related regulation of imports/exports, which isn't in any way relevant.
