The secret plan to strike down US gun laws (www.motherjones.com)

Sutherland is much less forthcoming about CDF, which since its rechristening has been at the center of a far-reaching, multimillion-dollar legal campaign to dismantle America’s gun laws. From 2020 to 2023, CDF funneled more than $14 million to the DC law firm Cooper & Kirk and a constellation of gun rights groups, which together have helped file at least 21 lawsuits challenging gun restrictions.

These suits, aimed at getting an eventual Supreme Court hearing, concern bans on semiautomatic assault-style rifles and high-capacity magazines, as well as restrictions on young adults buying and carrying handguns. In October, the court heard one of the cases, a challenge to the government’s ability to regulate home-assembled, unserialized “ghost guns.”

If you have been watching, the courts have been making rulings to liberalize gun ownership, and carry/use laws. Simultaneously they have been making rulings that have been making it easier, and easier, for cops to basically use this liberal state of gun rights as a reason to treat everyone as a lethal threat, and basically disregard a lot of your rights, like the 4th, and 5th, if they even think you have a gun. There is a blanket reason to disregard constitutional protections being crafted here.
