I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.

Turn now to Kavanaugh’s second “important point” about “the limits” of Bruen. The justice reiterated a famous passage in D.C. v. Heller, the 2008 decision that first established an individual right to bear arms. In Heller, Justice Antonin Scalia wrote that this right “is not unlimited,” adding: “Nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms. … We identify these presumptively lawful regulatory measures only as examples; our list does not purport to be exhaustive.” Kavanaugh reprinted this entire passage just to endorse it.

Now Slate and WP are not progun and may be looking for something in the beer suds but others have said the same. The sensitive places issues are killing carry in some states and we don't know if opt in rules will stand. The area proscriptions seem banned but NYS is testing them in Times Square. Opt in is a clever counter punch as it avoids an area ban to go to a premises ban that encompasses almost everywhere. As some point out with a clear definition of sensitive place - it is a weapon against all carry.

IMHO, sensitive places should only be ones where a technical issue precludes carry such as MRI rooms, airline passengers (not because of blowing up the plane but a different threat profile IMHO for terrorism), prisons, courtrooms and the like.

It is to be determined if and when Scotus actually, if ever, clearly turns back AWBs, mag bans and atrocities on carry like the CCIA and similar laws in NJ and CA. As I've said before, the history rule was a mixed fall down an unnecessary rabbit hole. That view is not unique just to me yelling and screaming at the sky. You can find law reviews saying the same from progun folks. Great victories over domestic abuse issues are not as important as blocking AWBs and CCIA type laws.

Well, beer and guns don't mix...

Depends on the order. 😏
