A unanimous three-judge panel of the U.S. Fifth Circuit last week ruled that suppressors are protected by the Second Amendment, exactly the opposite of a decision from the California-based Ninth Circuit.
In the 11-page decision in the appeal of U.S. vs. Comeaux (24-30307) published in the Western District of Louisiana on June 18, the court fell back on the "text, history, and tradition" guidelines of Bruen and the meaning of "bear arms" as explained in the Heller ruling ("wear, bear, or carry . . . for the purpose . . . of being armed and ready for offensive or defensive action in case of conflict with another person.") to explain that "silencers" (suppressors) are bearable arms.
Which can set it up to go to the Supremes.

Now the SCOTUS HAS to address the issue...
The supreme Court will either punt or shoot it down. And even money says that it's Roberts and Barrett that join the commies to limit our rights.
