Everytown Publishes Damage Control on Wolford v. Lopez

Everytown for Gun Safety — Michael Bloomberg's nine-figure anti-gun operation — dropped a nervous explainer on *Wolford v. Lopez*, the Supreme Court case that could blow apart Nevada's sweeping "sensitive place" carry bans and take dozens of copycat state laws down with it.

Here is the raw situation: SCOTUS heard oral argument on January 20, 2026. The case challenges Nevada's blanket list of locations where law-abiding concealed-carry permit holders are banned from carrying — casinos, parks, churches, and more. After *Bruen* (2022) torched the old interest-balancing tests, these location bans are dangerously exposed, and Everytown knows it.

Everytown's piece is pure spin management. They frame the bans as historically grounded "common-sense" restrictions — their standard PR camouflage for stripping rights from people who passed background checks, paid fees, and completed training. That language deserves a direct rebuttal: there is nothing common-sense about telling a law-abiding woman she cannot carry in a casino parking garage at 2 a.m.

What Everytown fears is a ruling that forces courts to apply *Bruen*'s text-and-history test strictly, wiping out the patchwork of sensitive-place carve-outs that blue-state legislatures stacked up after 2022. New York, California, New Jersey, and Illinois all passed nearly identical "sensitive location" bills post-*Bruen* — a coordinated Bloomberg-backed strategy to make carry rights theoretical rather than real.

Justices asked hard questions at oral argument. A decision is expected by late June 2026. A ruling for the challengers does not just fix Nevada — it sends a wrecking ball through every post-*Bruen* sensitive-place regime in the country.

Everytown filing amicus briefs, publishing panic guides, and rallying Moms Demand Action protesters on the SCOTUS steps will not change the Constitution. It will, however, fuel fundraising — so expect a flood of Bloomberg money into state legislatures the moment a ruling drops.

**What you need to do:** Mark June 2026 on your calendar. Share this case with every carry-permit holder you know. And when Everytown starts screaming that the sky is falling, remind them the Second Amendment does not come with an asterisk.
