Yeah, the issue was it was a direct response to courts deliberately ignoring all other precedents to purposefully deny the right. If you can’t apply scrutiny due to your own personal biases you lose scrutiny.
That’s not really true though. There were very few SCOTUS precedents on the 2A, really just Cruikshank and Presser until recently. Heller really changed it all in 2008, being the first court to find an individual right. And the 2A didn’t get incorporated until 2010 in McDonald.
The issue is that bad precedent is begging to be overturned. I can’t imagine Bruen standing for a long time without being overturned or distinguished by a subsequent case.
