No firearms? Why not? "The overwhelming weight of historical evidence supported the right of the public to peaceably carry handguns for self-defense." So said SCOTUS six days ago. Then they struck down a law which "provided that no one carrying a firearm may enter without express authorization."

Below the banner is a photograph of a vintage portable record player in a textured tan case, sitting outdoors on a brick sidewalk. The lid of the record player is propped open, revealing the black turntable platter and components inside.

A white piece of paper is taped to the front of the device with handwritten text that reads:
